Figure 2. — (a–d) Numerical simulations to model the cellular entry process including (a) initial jump into the channel; (b,c) cellular creep response and (d) creep response termination at the transitional position; (e) The proposed equivalent circuit model for a travelling cell within the constriction channel where C_Ms, C_Mp₁, …, C_Mpn and R_C₁, …, R_Cn+₁ represent distributed membrane capacitance and cytoplasm resistance with n divisions along the cell elongation direction. Note that R_L₁, R_L₂, …, R_Ln, R_Ln+₁ represent distributed leakage resistors, indicating the sealing properties of deformed cells with constriction channel walls.
