Figure 5. Lagrangian tracking of cells in the Inline graphic-plane of the microchannel.

Figure 5

A sample of 205 cells crawling over a plastic hydrophobic surface were subjected to a shear stress Inline graphic0.18 Pa in the positive Inline graphic-direction, with a soluble calcium concentration of 3 mM. Hundred time samples were collected every 3.5 seconds. (A) Odograph Inline graphic for the average cell position along the signal direction (blue dots). The red dashed line corresponds to a purely uniform translation with Inline graphic. (B) Odograph Inline graphic for the average cell position transversely to the signal direction. (C) Average cell trajectory Inline graphic. (D) Coefficient of variation Inline graphic vs. time for the motion along the signal direction.
