Figure 3.

Membrane position and pressure in the bleb model at several time values for both the fluid cytoplasm (a) and poroelastic cytoplasm (b) when the membrane stiffness was decreased to 40 pN/μm. Horizontal pressure profile at several time values for the fluid model of the cytoplasm (c) and poroelastic model (d) when permeability $\kappa ={10}^{-3}\mu {\text{m}}^2$ and G = 500 Pa. (Shaded region) Initial pressure across the cell. The intermediate time values for (c) are 1 and 5 s. The intermediate values for (d) are 2 and 5 s. To see this figure in color, go online.
