1.1. When confronted explants of chick frontal bone are cultured on glass, fibroblasts grow out from all sides of each explant, and form a confluent cell sheet in the region between them. If the cells on the non-confronted aspects of one explant are detached, then the explants are drawn towards each other by the fibroblast sheet connecting them.2.2. The tension thus developed has been measured directly using a calibrated micro-spring balance, and found to be about 3.4 × 104dynes/cm2of cross-sectional area of the cell sheet between the cultures.3.3. Heating the cultures above 40 °C caused a decrease in tension within the cell sheets (to 1.7 × 104dynes/cm2) which may indicate that contraction of an extended fibroblast depends upon more than a single mechanism.
