Measurement of junctional tension in epithelial cells at the onset of primitive streak formation in the chick embryo via non-destructive optical manipulation

Valentina Ferro, Manli Chuai, David McGloin, Cornelis Jan Weijer

The paper measures junctional tension in chick embryo epiblast cells during primitive streak formation using non-destructive optical manipulation and finds higher tension in mesendoderm cells and in the direction of intercalation.
