Figure 6

Collectivity of the epithelium migration in wound closure experiment on microtopographies. a Correlation function of the velocity vector u component (x direction, towards wound closure) at different time points. Each curve is mediated over 3 h and smoothed over a moving window of 5 pixels. The dashed lines highlight the positive correlation distance at each time point. b Illustrative sketch of correlation distance and time evolution of suchcorrelation distances of both u and v components in different pattern configurations. A higher correlation of the v component in the parallel sample can be identified.
