Time-lapse live-imaging movies show dermal cell behavior by visualizing cells from Pdgfra-EGFP mouse lines. Representative movies show that dermal cells undergo five consecutive stages through random movement, encirclement with epidermal aggregates (black blank region), reorganization, dermal plane, to dermal condensation formation. One second represents 1 h in real time; 24 frames/s.
