Figure 6.
Variation of cell rolling velocity with microvillus stiffness for different values of the cortical tension (τ = 5 dyn/cm2, NL = 50 sites/μm2). ξ is a scaling factor such that the resulting microvillus parameters are ξF0, ξηm, ξKm, and ξKc, with the base values of the parameters given in Table 1.
