Abstract
Branching morphology is important to ensure that the organ can obtain the efficient functional morphology in a limited volume. The submandibular gland is a crucial model for studying the morphological processes of organ branches. Harvesting the submandibular gland from mouse embryo is also an essential research technique. In this paper, a modified method for obtaining the submandibular glands of mouse embryo was introduced, and the whole process of obtaining and establishing in vitro organ culture was briefly introduced to accurately simulate branch morphogenesis for vivo development and related research.
