Fig. 1
Patch configurations. The top row shows cropped images of the experimental patches of fluorescent fibronectin that was used to form the patches for cell growth. The white scale bars are 100μm. The bottom images show the simulated configurations of the cells (the blue circles). In all cases, patches occupied the same total area (1.131 mm2) that comprised 20% of the total simulation domain (2.4 mm × 2.4 mm.)
