Fig. 3: Simulation and characterization of cell collective migration on different surfaces.
From: Drop-shaped microgrooves guide unidirectional cell migration for enhanced endothelialization
a Simulation diagram of the degree of cell coverage in the central area changing over time. b Cell migration velocity streamline diagram. The black dashed line represents the sampling location for velocity direction. c Cell migration velocity direction diagram at dashed line position. d Schematic diagram of collective cell migration experiment. Created in BioRender. Ji, J. (2025) https://BioRender.com/m39n040. e Diagram of cell migration area towards the central region on different surfaces over time. The black dashed line indicates the farthest position of cell migration. f Diagram of the percentage of the central area covered by HCMEC (f), HUVEC (g), and SMC (h) on different surfaces over time (n = 3 technical replicates). Data are presented as means ± SD (f–h).
