| Method |
Primary source abstract:"Hindbrain neural crest cells were labeled with Dil [1, 1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate] and followed in ovo using a new approach for long-term time-lapse confocal microscopy. In ovo imaging allowed [investigators] to visualize neural crest cell migration 2-3 times longer than in whole embryo explant cultures, providing a more complete picture of the dynamics of cell migration from emergence at the dorsal midline to entry into the branchial arches." |
| Comments |
"Dynamic processes in cellular biology span a broad range of velocities and scales. Some examples of this diversity are the speed of cell migration [140–170 µm/h for neural crest cells (primary source)], telomere motion in yeast [~0.05 µm/sec (BNID 111507)], fast calcium waves [10–50 µm/sec (BNID 111508)], red blood cell motion in the developing cardio-vascular system of rodents [1–10 mm/s (BNID 111509)], and the frequency of beating cilia [3–40 Hz (BNID 111510)." |
