Fig. 2. Reorientation of cilia does not rely on cell turnover and is unaffected by blockage of cilia beating.

Fig. 2.

A) Experimental scheme showing the induction of DH animals and subsequent treatments. B) Position of the collision zone over time in animals that had a large portion of tissue removed from their interior (orange line) at Day 7, compared to controls (black); there is no difference in reorientation speed, n = 12. C) Cilia reorientation in animals treated with high levels of radiation to prevent new cell formation (green), compared to controls (black); there is no significant difference in cilia reorientation speed, n = 12, with 3 repeats showing same pattern. D) Position of the collision zone in DHs which were treated with 3% ethanol for 1 h at Day 7 to remove external cilia (red); there is no difference in cilia reorientation compared to control (black), except at Day 7 immediately following treatment. n = 12. E) Position of the collision zone in DHs which were incubated in 2% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) solution from Day 7 to Day 35 (blue), showing no difference compared to controls (black). n = 12 with 2 repeats showing the same pattern. The mean of all samples is plotted. Shaded area represents standard deviation. All experimental worms were compared to age-matched controls.
