Table 2. Comparison of cell motility and cell pattern.

Pattern | Single | clustered | confluent | single | clustered | single | clustered | confluent |
Speed (µm/h) | 623±36 | 511±29 | 105±7 | 35±1.8 | 21±2.4 | 63±15.4 | 46±2.9 | 32±1.4 |
Diff. coeff. (µm2/min) | 116±1.5 | 158±1.7 | 134±0.7 | 1.7±0.01 | 1.6±0.01 | 0.6±0.01 | 1.29±0.01 | 3.6±0.01 |
Persistence time (min) | 2.2±0.2 | 4.3±0.2 | 87.6±1.3 | 9.7±0.3 | 26.8±1.2 | 1.2±0.5 | 4.4±0.3 | 25.8±0.4 |
Persistence length (µm) | 19.2±0.8 | 31.7±0.9 | 131.5±1 | 4.9±0.1 | 8±0.2 | 1±0.2 | 2.9±0.1 | 11.7±0.1 |
Cell motility data were calculated from tracked trajectories of cell populations in 3 typical densities for each cell type. Note the increase in persistence length for clustered cells in all cell types.
