Figure 1

A comparison between simulated geometries and clinically observed ones. For clarity, a similar color scheme was used. Adipose tissue is the lightest color, myocytes the middle shade and fibrotic tissue has been given the darkest colour. In the simulation data (Fig. 1a and b), there was a = 40% adipose tissue and f = 9% fibrotic tissue for an adipose radius of 400 μm. The histological cut is from sheep data17 and has a scale bar which denotes 500 μm. Figure 1c shows one infiltrate which consists of individual adipocytes which can be seen as small circular shapes. Each circle in Fig. 1b accounts for the whole infiltrate and is not subdivided into individual adipocytes.
