Cell-to-Cell Heterogeneity in Cortical Tension Specifies Curvature of Contact Surfaces in Caenorhabditis elegans Embryos

In the two-cell stage embryos of Caenorhabditis elegans, the contact surface of the two blastomeres forms a curve that bulges from the AB blastomere to the P(1) blastomere. This curve is a consequence of the high intracellular hydrostatic pressure of AB compared with that of P(1). However, the highe...
