S2 Video. Ex vivo live imaging of a developing tooth germ.

embryonic days (E) 12.5–13.5 mice.

Time-lapse imaging of a developing tooth germ derived from a transgenic mouse embryo co-expressing Fucci-G0/G1 probe and H2BEGFP. The tooth germ was cultured for 5 days ex vivo, and the images were taken at 30-min intervals. The lingual side is on the left. Also see Fig 1E. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0161336.s010 (MP4)

To visualize these tooth morphogenetic dynamics sequentially, we established an ex vivo time-lapse imaging system using transgenic mouse embryos co-expressing the Fucci-G0/G1 probe (Cdt1-mKO) and enhanced green fluorescent protein-labeled human histone 2B (H2B-EGFP; S1 and S2 Videos).
