Organ-Specific Extracellular Matrix Directs Trans-Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Formation of Salivary Gland-Like Organoids In Vivo

Rat bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells were treated with homogenates of decellularized rat salivary gland-extracellular matrix for one hour in cell suspension and then cultured in tissue culture plates for seven days in growth media.
