The cell contact area: a Notation; b the experimental evidence: the inner ring can be interpreted as the boundary of the contact area of ECs on Poly-Lysine; simulations at the end of the adhesion stage (diameter $6.7\mu m$, CA $35.3\mu m^2$) and at the end of the mechanical translocation phase (diameter $39.6\mu m$, CA $1232\mu m^2$)
