Node and edge analysis of abstracted treated and control ER networks in chosen regions over the analyzed movies. (a) Number of persistent (left two bars) and nonpersistent (right two bars) nodes per unit area (10 μm²). The majority of persistent nodes are nonbranching; the majority of nonpersistent nodes are branching. In the treated ER, 77% are persistent nodes; however, in the control, the number of persistent and nonpersistent nodes are approximately equal. (b) Distribution of the number of edges from a nonpersistent node to nonpersistent nodes V_s (left) and to persistent nodes V_p (right).
