Extended Data Fig. 5

a, The shape change of the incision after cutting. Scale bar, 100 μm. b, The stacked incision borders. c, The aspect ratio of the incision. d, The diagram to explain why the dilation indicates tension in the ‘portal to portal’ direction. The video is Supplementary Video 6. Data in c (n= 5 biological replicates) are mean ± s.d. Statistical analysis in (c) was performed with the matched nonparametric Friedman test because the aspect ratio data were measured as a matched series from each individual sample. Exact P values are labeled.
