Extended Data Fig. 7: Distribution of the lane widths in simulations and experiments.
From: Emergence of bidirectional cell laning from collective contact guidance
\(\tilde{p}(w)\) is the probability for a lane to be wider than w. a) Simulations; b) Experiments. hs = 1 in (A) and d = 0 in (B) correspond to isotropic (flat) substrates (blue curves). Simulations with anisotropic friction (A) and experiments with finite groove depth (B) are plotted in red. These distributions are not peaked, meaning unambiguously that the laning pattern is aperiodic in both simulations and experiments. Panel A: Parameters of the simulations are listed in Supplementary Table 1. ks = 6. Panel B: n = 10 (flat substrates), n = 15 (grooved substrates); t = 20 h post-confluence.
