Erratum to: Investigating the steady state ofmulticellular sheroids by revisiting the two-fluid model by Antonio Fasano, Marco Gabrielli, Alberto Gandolfi

“…\end{align}The comments that followed Eq. (45) then change accordingly.It is immediate to realize that the presence of $\tau_0$ has two effects: itincreases the minimal value of the surface tension needed for the existenceof the steady state, and, given $\gamma$, if (45) hasa solution this solution is greater than the solution of (35).However, since it is possible that the surface tension $\gamma$ has a monotonedependence on the yield stress $\tau_0$ (both these quantity have theirphysical origin in the intercellular adhesion bonds), a partialcompensation of the effect of the yield stress on the determination of $R$can be expected.For more information please click the 'Full Text' above.…”
