In order to calculate the probabilities of nucleation of liquid droplets at different types of site on a solid surface, the properties of embryonic droplets which may exist in complete thermodynamic equilibrium at those sites must be known. The general properties of liquid embryos formed on a plane solid surface, or at lines or points of intersection of plane solid surfaces, are considered. It is shown that, although an edge free energy associated with the boundary line may substantially affect the properties -of embryos at small contact angles, the effect is probably not large, for embryos of the sizes of interest, when the contact angle is larger than about π/4. The areas, volumes, total surface free energies, and free energies of formation are found for embryos at these sites as functions of the contact angle, any edge free energies being neglected. The extension to the formation of bubbles at plane solid surfaces in a pure liquid is indicated. The results are applied in a following paper to the kinetics of condensation of a vapour at an imperfect crystalline surface.

Abstract Cis and trans-interactions in cadherins are the foundations of cellular adhesions in multicellular organisms. While the trans-interactions mediate the intercellular attachment, the cis-interaction is presumed as reinforcement to trans. Thus, trans precedes cis has been the well-accepted model in cadherin adhesion. The stronger affinity of trans-binding over cis has been the decisive influence in the trans first model. Here we show that cadherin-23, a non-classical cadherin with an extended extracellular region, can undergo cis-clustering in solution independent of trans and phase separate as liquid droplets. Using single-molecule measurements, we decipher that weaker cis-interactions favor the cis-clustering. In-cellulo, the cis-clustering is manifested as puncta, a common feature in non-classical cadherin junctions, and accelerates the cell adhesion. The cis-clustering thus kinetically controls cell-adhesion before trans-binding. Notably, M2-macrophages predominantly express cadherin-23 and rapidly attach to circulatory tumor cells during metastatic migration. However, the relation of cis-clustering with rapid cell-cell adhesion in physiology is not yet established

Cis and trans-interactions in cadherins are the foundations of multicellularity. While the trans-interaction mediate cell-cell adhesion, the cis-interaction is postulated as strengthening to trans by clustering. The well-accepted model in cadherin-adhesion is that the trans precedes cis via a diffusion-trap kinetic model. Here we report that cadherin-23, a non-classical cadherin with an extended extracellular region, undergoes clustering in solution via lateral interactions independent of trans and phase separate as liquid droplets. In cellulo using fluorescence-recovery after the photobleaching, we noticed a significantly slow-diffusion of cadherin-23 at the intercellular junctions, indicating the diffusion of a cluster. The cis-clustering accelerates the cell-cell adhesion and, thus, kinetically controls cell-adhesion via cis precedes trans model. Though the connection of cis-clustering with the rapid adhesion is yet to explore, M2-macrophages that predominantly express cadherin-23 undergo fast attachments to circulatory tumor cells during metastasis.
