the proposal that cell sorting is driven by differences in tension at cell interfaces arising from both adhesion and cortical contraction.

In developmental biology, differential interfacial tension hypothesis refers to the proposal that cell sorting is driven by differences in tension at cell interfaces arising from both adhesion and cortical contraction. This meaning comes from Brodland (2002) in Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.[1]
