From: Modeling migration in cell colonies in two and three dimensional substrates with varying stiffnesses
The figures show the effect and magnitude of a cell’s own elastic modulus (E c ). In this simulation run, the substrate was divided into two halves: one with cells having E c  = 0.5 kPa and the other with changing E c values. a shows the number of cells that migrated to the constant elastic modulus side. b shows the number of cells that migrated to the changing E c side. All simulations were carried out for several E s values. The graphs show the impact of the E c value, over E s
