Abstract
Biological tubes serve as the body's plumbing system, transporting fluids and gases throughout secretory, circulatory, and respiratory organs. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Nedvetsky etal. (2014) find that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), secreted by parasympathetic nerves, is a surprising player in directing epithelial tubulogenesis in salivary glands.
