Figure 6

Increasing the spring constant between epithelial cells.

(a) Plotting the -coordinates of the epithelial cells after 60 hours, where the arrow indicates the direction of increasing . (b) Plotting the number of epithelial cells in the layer over time, averaged over 50 simulations. In both plots (black), 30 (red), and (blue).
