1. Patterns of cell movement in paraxial mesoderm.
Patterns of cell movement in paraxial mesoderm. Tracks of individual cell movements over a 4 hour period in the WT region 1 (A), WT region 2 (B), WT region 3 (C) and tracks that represent cells in both regions 2 and 3 of Ptk7 mutant embryos (D). Diagrams at the end of each row indicate the specific regions of the embryo from which these images were taken (purple). Scale bar: 50 μm. Anterior is up; PNC, posterior notochord. (E) Diagram of the positions of individual labeled cells in WT and Ptk7 mutant embryos at the start and end of a 1 hour interval in a time-lapse sequence. (F) Schematic representing movements of cells in the primitive streak (blue), transitional (purple) and presomitic (orange) regions of WT and Ptk7 mutant embryos. Anterior is up.
