Simulation by Jadhav and coworkers [35] on the effect of macroscopic deformation on the progressive rolling and firm adhesion of a cell, modeled with an elastic shell of varying stiffness. The calculations account for the deformation, spreading, increased contact zone and decreased rolling velocity for more deformable cells in higher shear fields.
