Regeneration of sensory cells after laser ablation in the lateral line system: hair cell lineage and macrophage behavior revealed by time- lapse video microscopy

The regeneration of sensory hair cells in lateral line neuromasts of axolotls was investigated via nearly continuous time-lapse microscopic observation after all preexisting hair cells were killed by a laser microbeam. The laser treatments left neuromasts with one resident cell type, which was suppo... View More
