Increased strain correlates with a decrease in the percentage of unaligned fibers across multiple cell types. Change in the percentage of unaligned fibers as a function of strain for tissues comprised of normal EpH4 mammary epithelial cells (circles), EΔ-expressing EpH4 cells (diamonds), MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (triangles), Ecad-GFP-expressing MDA-MB-231 cells (inverted triangles), 4T1 murine mammary carcinoma cells (hexagons), and NIH3T3 fibroblasts (squares). Line is linear regression of the combined data.
