Figure 5. Lateral branching is the predominant mode of budding in the pancreatic epithelium during branching morphogenesis.

Figure 5

Budding modules were identified and labeled as protrusions in the growing epithelium, and tracked over time for evidence of branching. Quantification of the mode of budding was carried out by counting the modules that underwent lateral budding or terminal bifurcation, and expressed as a percent of total. Bar, 200μm.
