From: Metamorphosis of mesothelial cells with active horizontal motility in tissue culture
Flattened mesothelial cells change their shape into cuboidal cells in cultured murine abdominal wall tissue.
(a) A schematic for the current tissue culture method. (b) Flattened mesothelial cells before incubation (left) and cuboidal mesothelial cells after 640 min of incubation (right). The initial and terminal places of tracked cells were connected using a colored line. Squares at the top are magnified at the bottom. Scale bars: 100 μm. (c) A schematic of the time-course of mesothelial morphology using the current tissue method. (d) Time-course of velocity of mesothelial cells tracked. Thirty or more cells were tracked from each sample. Two independent results (n = 62) are shown. ***p<0.001.
