Fig. 6. DMZ explant migration assay. (A) A DMZ explant. The bottom layer is the
mesoderm tissue sheet (red), which encounters the substrate, and the top layer
is ectoderm tissue (blue). The dorsal lip edge is positioned up and the arrow
indicates the direction of mesoderm tissue sheet migration. (B) The morphology
of DMZ explants expressing GFP or
4
5, shown as a representative
example. The construct injected and the adhesive substrate are as indicated.
Arrows point to the migrating sheet of mesodermal tissue. (C) Migration rate
of DMZ explants. The distance of leading edge cell advancement in 1 hour is
measured and plotted as a bar graph. The substrate and construct injected are
as indicated.
