Figure 6.

Spatial pattern of junctional forces in collective cell migration. (A) The time course of each cell-cell junction exhibits multiple frequencies, in particular at the tissue periphery. (B) The junction force average is shown as a function of the cell-cell junction (with one corresponding to the cell 1-cell 2 junction at the tissue front). The junctional force average exhibits a maximal near, but not at, the tissue front and then decreases toward the tissue back. Parameters are β = 0.16 and δ = 0.5.
