Abstract

sparkles

AI

This study investigates the localization of laminin mRNA and protein during mouse embryonic development and in postnatal tissues using in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry. Key findings include early expression of laminin in parietal endoderm and maternal decidual cells, with subsequent detection in various embryonic structures such as the developing kidney and heart. The research highlights the changes in laminin expression patterns from embryonic stages through to adulthood, emphasizing its role in basement membrane integrity and tissue development.
