Calcium Wave Propagation in Networks of Endothelial Cells: Model-based Theoretical and Experimental Study
Figure 5
Simulated calcium concentration for cells in a single chain subjected to a single stimulus.
We label the stimulated cell 4 (cell 31 in the chain of 61 cells). We report the response of cells on either side of the stimulated cell as cell 5 through cell 9 and cell 1-through cell 3 to facilitate comparison with experimental results. The real time is obtained by scaling the cell-to-cell propagation time of the simulation to that of the experiment (see text for details).
