Macrophage-like cells migrate preferentially towards the wound site after injury. (A) Schematic representation of a mpeg1:GFP transgenic Xenopus larva. (B) The speed of migration was calculated for each GFP+ cell following light stimulation (unwounded, green dots) or after biopsy punch wounding (wounded, red dots). The mean speed is indicated with a transversal black line. Mann–Whitney U-test, ***p<0.001. (C) and (D) The magnitude and the angles of the displacement vectors obtained from the GFP+ cell tracks after light stimulation were plotted in rose charts (MatLab). (E) and (F) The magnitude and the angles of the displacement vectors obtained from the GFP+ cell tracks after biopsy punch wounding were plotted in rose charts (MatLab). The location of the wound site is denoted by a pink overshadow. Rayleigh test (CircStat for MatLab, The MatWorks) p-values are also indicated.
