Movie 5.
Long-term imaging reveals dMC motile behaviors. 6 hour time-lapse movie of MCs and dMCs expressing Tg(atoh1a:lifeact-egfp) in an intubated juvenile zebrafish. Manual cell tracks (white traces) show dMCs crawling in the direction of their protrusions while MCs remain largely stationary. Scale bar, 10 μm.
