Figure 2. Tissue transplantation experiments highlight microenvironmental influence on neural crest cell migratory behaviors.

Figure 2

(A) A schematic diagram representing the pre-migratory NC cell transplant experiments. (B) An example of the measurements of the mean fluorescence intensity within rectangular rows of a grid overlaid on images of each embryo. (C) Typical stream-forming r4 NC cells migrate in chain-like arrays when transplanted into r7 axial levels, whereas r7 NC cells convert to stream migration when placed into r4 hosts. (D) Bar graph depicting results of transplantation of r4 pre-migratory NC into either r4 or r7 host sites, and r7 pre-migratory NC cell transplantation into the r7 or r4 host site. The scalebar in (B) is 100um and in (C) is 50um.
