Comparison between experimental and simulation results for different values for Young’s modulus of the cytoplasm particles. a) Spread cell. b) Round cell. Experimental data taken from Caille et al. [3]. The behaviour of the cells is well represented by the chosen force expressions and corresponding fitted parameters over a large range of deformation.
