Caption

Differentiating neurons in the embryonic spinal cord abscise their apical tips to detach from the ventricular surface. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the 10 Jan., 2014, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Raman M. Das and Kate G. Storey at University of Dundee in Dundee, UK, was titled, "Apical Abscission Alters Cell Polarity and Dismantles the Primary Cilium During Neurogenesis."
