Extended Data Fig. 11. Cartilage staining of DMSO or the ROCK inhibitor-beads implanted skate embryos at stage 31.

Extended Data Fig. 11

The beads were repeatedly implanted into the anterior part of the right pectoral fin every two weeks (the total is three times) from stage 29. Some beads were retained until stage 31 (blue dots), while others fell during the treatment The embryos with the ROCK-inhibitor beads exhibited fusion, loss, or disorganized fin ray patterning (arrows, 6/9 for 100 μM and 6/10 for 1 mM). Note that abnormal fin ray patterning was never observed in control animals, indicating that the effects not directly associated with a bead in treated embryos were likely derived from the loss of the bead during the treatment. N = 9 for DMSO, 9 for 100 μM inhibitor, and 10 for 1 mM inhibitor beads. The scale bar is 2 mm.
