From: Modelling The Combined Effects Of Collagen and Cyclic Strain On Cellular Orientation In Collagenous Tissues

Figure 1

Scheme of hypotheses (A,B) and functions introduced to model them (C,D). Cells might not react to cyclic strain because (A) they locally follow the direction of collagen, according to contact guidance, or (B) they do not have space to reorient due to collagen, according to steric hindrance. (C) Function describing the effects of contact guidance. (D) Function describing the effects of steric hindrance.
