Live imaging of whole mouse embryos during gastrulation: migration analyses of epiblast and mesodermal cells.

During gastrulation in the mouse embryo, dynamic cell movements including epiblast invagination and mesodermal layer expansion lead to the establishment of the three-layered body plan. The precise details of these movements, however, are sometimes elusive, because of the limitations in live imaging....
