Figure 2: Closure dynamics of adhesive and non-adhesive gaps.
From: Mechanics of epithelial closure over non-adherent environments
Closure of (a) non-adhesive gaps (mediated by actin cable contraction) and (b) adhesive gaps (mediated by cell crawling mechanism). (c) Phase contrast images of HaCaT cells closing an adhesive epithelial gap created after the removal of a micropillar stencil. Inset shows cells forming lamellipodia. Scale bars, (c) 50 μm.
