Persistence and dynamics of cell trains. (A,B) Position kymograph of 10-cell trains for low ((A) T M/F A = 0.2) and high ((B) T M/F A = 0.8) adhesion levels. (C) Average persistence time of trains for varying adhesion levels: T M/F A = 0.2, 0.25, 0.8 (red, blue and black, respectively). (D) Optimal train (cluster) size as a function of T M/F A. τ T/τ M = 10 and F A/T R = 10 in panels (A–D). (E,F) Dynamics of train formation as a function of density (confinement) and τ T/τ M for high ((E) T M/F A = 0.5, F A/T R = 10) and low ((F) T M/F A = 2, F A/T R = 10) adhesion levels.
