Fig. 8.

Total shear modulus of the stress fibers (${\mu }_{\text{sf}}^{\text{tot}}$), contraction strength of the stress fibers (f₀), and total viscosity of the stress fibers (${\eta }_{\text{sf}}^{\text{tot}}$) obtained from the parameter estimations. The expression levels of α-SMA contribute significantly to the contraction strength (f₀) as well as strain sensitivity (${\eta }_{\text{sf}}^{\text{tot}}$) of the stress fibers within VICs.
