3-D reconstruction of mouse tail tendon 15.5 dpc. 3-D reconstruction of part of a tendon fiber that runs down the mouse tail showing cells and associated fibripositors. Cells are color rendered. Some fibripositors are shown in yellow. The movie shows that the cells are cylindrical in shape and that the PMs of the cells are parallel to the long axis of the tendon. Cylindrical channels occur between cells.


Coalignment of plasma membrane channels and protrusions (fibripositors) specifies the parallelism of tendon
