Cell stress and displacements in a porous ECM. Top panel shows cell stress and ECM displacements (significantly higher than those in a continuum ECM). Bottom left panel shows cell stress and the cell body adhered to the pore surface (where it develops higher stress). Cell body contracts toward the pore surface (bottom right panel), with high displacements at the free side.
