Extended Data Figure 5. The MCMs lose molecular and structural characteristics of glia after birth.

Extended Data Figure 5

a, Proportion of MCMs with presence of the glial marker ptr-10prom::myrRfp or the neuronal marker ida-1prom::gfp at different stages after MCM birth.

b, Electron micrograph of a cross section of an adult male head showing the MCM and AMso cell body ultrastructure. Neighbouring tissues are color-coded according to WormAtlas (http://www.wormatlas.org/colorcode.htm). Purple (pharynx), muscle (green), hypodermis (light cream), AMso (amphid socket, pink). The dendrites of the amphid neurons (amphid bundle) are not colored.
