But, what is the substrate? Is it the underlying meso-/endoderm? 
Here come the crazy experiments by Julia: She used an eye-brow to remove the meso-/endo showing that it’s required for node rotation. Notably, meso-/endo grows back yielding a delayed and reduced node rotation.

We quantified these chiral tissue flows in 25 quail embryos and inferred forces using a fluid model, suggesting a torque of 6μNμm is generated locally at the node.
