The contractile scope of the SC cell is substantially variable across donors and generally quite large. Cells from any given donor could attain a wide range of stiffnesses, with the ratio of maximal to minimal stiffness denoting an effective contractile scope. In this example, cells from donor SC58 (green squares) attained a contractile scope of only 2.2-fold, whereas donor SC61 (red triangles) attained a contractile scope close to 10-fold.
