An elongating
C. elegans
embryo expressing AJM-1::GFP
(green) and stained for F-actin using phalloidin (red),
imaged using laser scanning confocal microscopy [Abbi Cox].
Morphogenesis requires that cells make strong connections
with one another. We are studying how two complexes, the
cadherin complex and the DLG-1/AJM-1 complex are regulated
during morphogenesis.
