Abstract
⺠Branching morphogenesis requires cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. ⺠ECM and ECM receptors are required for branched organ development. ⺠Laminins and fibronectin are the principal ECM required for branching. ⺠Laminin receptors are the major integrins. ⺠Dystroglycan plays a minor role in branched organ development.
