Formation of actin cables during mouse fetal wound healing. (a) Actin cable formation in E13–15 mouse fetuses. Actin cables were observed throughout the wound healing process at E13 and halfway through E14, but not at E15. Green: actin; blue: DAPI. (b) Actin cables and E-cadherin expression at 12, 24, and 48 h after wounding at E13–15. Anchoring by E-cadherin was observed at the wound site and during actin cable formation. Green: actin; red: E-cadherin; blue: DAPI. Scale bar = 20 µm. (C) TEM images of E13–15 wounds after 24 h. The wound is indicated by red arrows, and the actin cables are indicated by yellow arrows. Scale bar = 4 µm.
