Cross-correlations of the global mechanical parameters. These global mechanical parameters were computed from the sets of myoblasts (red), myotubes (blue), ATP depleted (black) and blebbistatin treated (purple) myoblasts reported in Fig. 3 and Supplementrary S7. Box plots were reconstructed from fixed intervals of the two abscissa \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{i})\) and \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{g})\). (a) D l vs \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{i})\). (b) D l vs \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{g})\). (c) \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({W}_{g}/{W}_{i})\) vs \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{i})\). (d) \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({W}_{g}/{W}_{i})\) vs \({\mathrm{log}}_{10}({G}_{g})\). The vertical lines give the error of the mean of each quantity. The circle diameters are proportional to the percent of FICs with a given G i (a,c) or G g (b,d). G i and G g are expressed in kPa units.
