Table 1. Matrix of contact energies in the virtual palate model.
Primary entries are for Jext with energies for the two possible intracellular contacts in Jint are listed in parentheses. Abbreviations: MESENCH, mesenchyme; ECM, extracellular matrix; BM, basement membrane, EPITH, epithelium; PERI_B, periderm basal compartment; PERI_A, periderm apical compartment; and EXT, surrounding external fluid.
