From: On-Chip Quantitative Measurement of Mechanical Stresses During Cell Migration with Emulsion Droplets
Resting (A) and constrained (B) droplet shape after segmentation and computation of the local radius of curvature. The shape outlines are color-encoded with respect to the local radius of curvature. (C) Analytical curvature as a function of the angular position along the droplet profile in the resting (blue) and constrained state (red). Only the values corresponding to the upper half part of the droplet are plotted. The grey area corresponds to the area where the mechanical stress applied by the cell is maximal. (D) Measured values of the mechanical stress exerted by the cells (N = 8).
