Table 4:

Different terms considered for the time-dependent rate of cell-cell adhesion, Γ(t), when fitting Models H and P to experimental EGF data. The parameter γ₁ denotes a baseline rate of cell-cell adhesion, where γ₂ denotes the response of the rate of cell-cell adhesion to EGF treatment. Models H and P are fit to experimental EGF data using all four terms in Figure 3.2.

Γ(t)	Model H	Model P
constant	γ1	γ1
linear	γ1 + γ2 (1 − t/tfinal)	γ1 + γ2t/tfinal
quadratic	γ1 + γ2 (1 − t/tfinal)2	γ1 + γ2(t/tfinal)2
square root	γ1 + γ2 (1 − t/tfinal)1/2	γ1 + γ2(t/tfinal)1/2
