Figure 3. Developmental regulation of the decrease in adhesion.

A Wild type (AX3) and carA ⁻ cells lacking the cAMP receptor after 0 and 5 hr of development were analyzed with the microfluidic assay for the remaining fraction of cells after 40 minutes. B Work of adhesion (W_Adh.) of wild type (AX3), cells lacking the cAMP receptor (carA ⁻) or cells lacking talin (talA⁻) was measured after 0 hr (veg n = 36) and 6 hr (dev n = 30 for carA⁻, n = 34 for talA⁻) of development. Nonparametric statistical hypothesis test Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for significance.
