Fig. 6. Cells protruding past the defective tissue boundary. (A, B, E, F) Control MO and mem-EGFP (green) injected cells showed an intact boundary between ectoderm and mesendoderm cells, which was respected by all cells. (FN matrix is labeled red.) (C, D, G, H) Cells injected with aqp3b MOs lacked FN matrix, which allowed abnormal behavior of cells at the tissue border. Cells failed to respect the tissue boundary, forming protrusions that extend past the border between ectoderm and mesendoderm (arrows). Scale bars: 30 um. Image published in: Forecki J et al.
