2D simulation of cells on different E _c and same E _s . a shows E _s  = 3 kPa, right-side (blue) cells are with E _c  = 0.5 kPa, left-side (red) cells are with E _c  = 1 kPa. In b, E _s  = 10 kPa, E _c of right-side (red) cells have E _c  = 1 kPa, left-side (blue) cells have E _c  = 0.5 kPa. Attraction towards the side of the lower E _c is seen in both simulations, displaying the strong effect of the cells’ elasticity on the migration process
