(A) BrdU-labelled nuclei in the lateral migratory stream close to the LPZ. One large nucleus (arrow head) is typically separated from the LPZ by two or three smaller nuclei. (B) Measures of nuclear size in the migratory streams reveal their tendency to increase as they approach the proliferation zones. The abscissa shows the distance along the migratory stream from the MPZ to the LPZ divided into 10% bins, with 0% being at the MPZ and 100% at the LPZ. The graph shows that nuclei in the region of the niche tend to be smaller than those closer to the MPZ and LPZ. At the ends of the streams, close to the proliferation zones, the nuclei tend to decrease in size again as shown in A. Scale bar: A, 20 μm
