Figure 10From: Multiscale mechanobiology: mechanics at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levelsRegular spacing in the invasion of tumor colonies. a, Experimental setup. Tumor cells (the Human MCF-7) were seeded in micro-patterned traps followed by the overlay of type I collagen gel (1 mg/ml) to induce cell migration. b, Representative invasion patterns. The pattern became random if cells were treated with myosin inhibitor Blebbistatin (10 μM). Time is in hour and minute. Scale bar: 200 μm. c, Distribution of inter-branch distance L1 after 6 h. N = 100 and data are normalized to the maximum.Back to article page
