Blastomeres of sea urchin embryo change their shape from spherical to columnar during the early cleavage stage. It is suspected that this cell shape change might be caused by the increase in the adhesiveness between blastomeres. By cell electrophoresis, it was found that the amount of negative cell

Lobopodium is a hyaline cytoplasmic protrusion which rotates circumferencially around a cell. This movement is called circus movement, which is seen in dissociated cells of amphibian embryos. Relative abundance of the lobopodia-forming cells changes temporally and spatially within Xenopus embryos, r
