Time-lapse images of laser ablation on pupa with DE-cad::GFP. The ablations were performed in three different stage of apoptotic cell extrusion: before the reduction of E-cad (left); right after the reduction of E-cad (middle); and during the contraction of actomyosin cable in the neighboring cells (right). Scale bar, 5 μm.
