Image-based model of the spectrin cytoskeleton for red blood cell simulation
Fig 4
(a)-(d) The centers of mass of the actin protofilaments shown in Fig 3(d) are used as nodes for the watershed procedure that segments the cytoskeleton. This segments the cytoskeleton into regions associated with the nodes, as illustrated here with different colors. (e) Histogram of nodes per box compared to the Poisson distribution, (f) Plot of observed pairwise distances compared to the density PDF for uniformly distributed points in a 3D slab.
