Liquid properties of embryonic tissues: Measurement of interfacial tensions
Abstract
The flow of embryonic tissues during morphogenesis has been ascribed to tissue interfacial tensions arising from cell adhesion. Testing this explanation requires the demonstration that tissue interfacial tensions are measurable physical quantities. We describe a device that continuously records all parameters necessary to determine the tensions of living tissues at the interface with the surrounding medium. We monitor the relaxation of an imposed stress in two embryonic tissues, measure their interfacial tensions, and demonstrate that these are consistent with these tissues' mutual spreading behavior.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
