Fig. 5

Isolated cluster of cells form lamellipodia but do not crawl. The 2 detached cells pictured compacted by zippering at their interacting edges (arrow). However they did not migrate, as indicated by the constant distance between the nucleus of the lower cell and an imperfection in the mesoglea (double arrow) after 5 min. Vertical gridlines help illustrate that the cells to the left have advanced towards the non-motile cell cluster in that time period. Experiment was replicated 3 times. Scale bar = 50 μm
