Background: Tuft cells, which are characterized by long microvilli with prominent rootlets and by vesicular and tubular profiles, are present in the mucosal epithelium of a number of hollow organs, including the main excretory duct of the rat submandibular gland. Despite their widespread occurrence,

Previous studies demonstrated that the main excretory duct (MED) of the rat submandibular gland can internalize exogenous protein in addition to reabsorbing and secreting electrolytes. However, more precise studies have not been conducted. The aim of this study was to elucidate the cell types respon
Tuft cells, a widespread cell type that is present in the mucosal epithelia of hollow organs, including the main excretory duct (MED) epithelia of the rat salivary gland, are well documented morphologically. However, studies of their development are few. The purpose of the present study was to exami
