a measurable property of tissues, arising from cell adhesion and cortical tension, that predicts which embryonic tissue will envelop another when combined.

In developmental biology, tissue surface tension refers to a measurable property of tissues, arising from cell adhesion and cortical tension, that predicts which embryonic tissue will envelop another when combined. This meaning comes from Foty (1996) in Development.[1]
