  • In this movie, the cells are migrating along other cells while maintaining their cell-cell contacts but occationally changing their partners. In some instances, some epithelial cells phagocytosis other cells, like you mentioned. This unusual behavior was recently reported and termed entosis. But that is not what's happening here.

  • Since, I can only see the cells on 2 planes, I can't tell if the one cell phagocytose the other cell. Is that what is happening.
