Biphasic assembly of the contractile apparatus during the first two cell division cycles in zebrafish embryos

Biphasic assembly of the contractile apparatus during the first two cell division cycles in zebrafish embryos

The large and optically clear embryos of the zebrafish provide an excellent model system in which to study the dynamic assembly of the essential contractile band components, actin and myosin, via double fluorescent labelling in combination with confocal microscopy. We report the rapid appearance (i....
