During metazoan development, it is crucial that newly formed tissues become and remain physically separate from other tissues. Four major models have been proposed to describe the cellular mechanisms governing tissue separation, including differential adhesion, differential cortical tension, contact inhibition or selective adhesion. While differences in adhesion or in cortical tension can in principle cause sorting, experimental support largely comes from artificial systems, and convincing evidence using actual embryonic cells is limited. The goal of this project was to systematically test the potential contribution of cell-cell adhesion levels, cortical myosin contractility, cell-cell detachments and expression of unique cell adhesion mole...
