Can tissue surface tension drive somite formation?
Can tissue surface tension drive somite formation? is a scholarly work by Santiago Schnell and Ramon Grima, published in 2007 in ''Developmental Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include Danio rerio, gastrulation, paraxial mesoderm, anatomy, mesoderm, biology, Notch signaling pathway, somite, somitogenesis, cell biology, Wnt signaling pathway, and development of the heart. The authors investigate the possibility that minimization of tissue surface tension drives the somite sculpting processes.
