1. Cell-cell dye transfer in the pharynx of C elegans larvae [view movie]

2. Dynamic gap junction communication network in early developing embryos of C elegans.

Strong cell-cell communication or fast dye transfer represented by green arrows;
weak coupling or slow dye transfer represented by dashed green arrows.

  • ABa and ABp are strongly coupled in 3-cell embryos [view movie]
  • EMS and P2 are strongly coupled in early 4-cell embryos [view movie]
  • ABp is strongly coupled with ABa and EMS in late 4-cell embryos [view movie]
  • EMS and P2 is poorly coupled in late 4-cell embryos [view movie]
