N represents the number of data-points for each CP concentration. Exponent of the model α, prefactor in the model β, distance offset δ, and E1μm is the elastic modulus at a distance of 1 μm. The value ξ0 is the average mesh size as calculated for an homogeneous network. The value ν is the Poisson’s ratio. The value d0 is the distance at which the average force is >2 pN. The viscoelastic model used also allows prediction of the average filament length lf from the relaxation behaviors. The median R2 values are given to quantify the fit quality for the different conditions.
