Live stage 10-11 DE-cad-GFP embryo before (purple) and after (green) laser ablation of an amnioserosal bi-cellular junction. Tissue movement occurs toward the ablation site. An example of a strong response shown (seen in bi-cellular and tri-cellular cuts of 17 embryos to various degrees). Individual time points shown in Fig. 5A.
