Collagenase: effect on the morphogenesis of embryonic salivary epithelium in vitro.
Salivary epithelium in culture, under conditions which promote morphogenetic branching, grows as a simple disc in the presence of collagenase, or is "depatterned" midway in the morphogenetic course by a short exposure to a collagenase.
