Changes in cell shape during optic cup folding. Prospective retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells (green) flatten, cells at the rim show apical constriction and basal lamellipodia, and neural retina (NR) cells show basal constriction. Arrows show the expected direction of tissue movement. tel: telencephalon; hyp: hypothalamus; RPE: retinal pigment epithelium; NR: neural retina. |
