Time series of a profile view of an MDCK monolayer during stretch. Intercellular junctions are visualized with E-cadherin-GFP (green) and cells are visualized by dye exclusion of dextran-Alexa 647 (red) added to the medium. Time is indicated in the bottom-left corner of each image. Deformation starts at time 0 and proceeds at a rate of 1% s –1 . Scale bar, 10 μm.
