Zebrafish Notogenesis and Early Neurulation. Mediolateral intercalation produces convergent-extension of the notochordal rudiment. Cells within the center of the notochord elongate and are incorporate...

Figure 299 from Chapter 11 (Melanin Pigment) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Melanocyte pigment cell from the iris in the eye of the Macaca mulatta. The cytoplasm is crowded with melan...

Confocal micrograph of an isolated melanin-producing cell (a melanocyte) showing the melanosomes (vesicles that hold the melanin granules) in yellow, the actin in red and the microtubules in blue. The...

Human melanoma cell undergoing cell division. The chromosomes (blue) have separated and the two daughter cells have almost split apart - only a small bridge of cytoplasm remains. The green staining la...

This electron micrograph shows the endothelium and the underlying Descemet's membrane of the human cornea. Descemet's membrane is an unusually thick and structurally specialized example of basal lami...

Polarized cell rearrangement in the Platynereis neuroectoderm visualized by time-lapse imaging. This time-lapse movie shows convergent extension by mediolateral cell intercalation of the ventral neuro...

Representative examples of gap junctions from vertebrates (ciliary epithelium from the eye of a Macaca mulatta, upper) and invertebrates (inverted gap junctions from cells of the mid-gut of the horses...

Elongation of the dorsal trunk ectoderm closely matches that of the ventral body side, but shows very little convergence. This time-lapse movie shows the elongation of the dorsal region of Platynereis...

Images of desmosomes from conventional EM and freeze fracture preparations show transmembrane filaments that link two hemidesmosomes. Upper: section of a cell boundary in the ciliary epithelium of th...
