Movie 4.

Live imaging of the RCNP in a LDR-treated embryo. Representative movie of CLDN3-depleted LDR-treated embryos (n=4) used for analysis of closure rates in the RCNP. The embryo is positioned so anterior is towards the “top”. Time in minutes shown in upper left corner. Scale bar: 100μm.

Increased tissue tension caused by depletion of CLDN3 in the non-neural ectoderm causes neural tube defects in chick embryos
