Primary neurulation is the process by which the neural tube, the central nervous system
precursor, is formed from the neural plate. Incomplete neural tube closure occurs frequently …

Neuroepithelial cell (NEC) elongation is one of several key cell behaviors that mediate the
tissue-level morphogenetic movements that shape the neural tube (NT), the precursor of the …

Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) has been applied extensively to in vitro studies of
different living cells. In this paper, we present a novel application of an off-axis DHM system …

Background Shaping of the neural tube, the precursor of the brain and spinal cord, involves
narrowing and elongation of the neural tissue, concomitantly with other morphogenetic …

Despite improvements in imaging techniques during recent years, for many non-model
systems the fixation of tissues followed by embedding and sectioning for histochemical or …

The composition and structure of plasma membranes is critical for many cell functions. The
plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells can be divided into two compartments, the …
