FIG. 5. Exposure to lithium during gastrulation or misexpresslon of Xwnt-8 retards involution of the dorsoantenor mesoderm. Mldsagittal confocal images of an untreated embryo (A) and of embryos treated with lithium at stage 12 (B), 11 (C), 10 (D), or 9 (E) or made to misexpress Xwnt-8 in the dorsal mesoderm (F) and then cultured to stage 13. Arrowhead in each panel marks the position of the yolk plug while the archenteron is denoted by an arrow and the blastocoel by an asterisk. Dorsal is toward the top of the micrograph.
