Analysis of protrusion dynamics in amoeboid cell motility by means of regularized contour flows
Fig 8
Expanding and contracting areas with corresponding expansion events.
Illustrative sequence of the contour dynamics for 96s ≤ t ≤ 144s (left), and 316s ≤ t ≤ 350s (right) based on the cell track shown in Fig 7. Features with high and medium expanding activities are shown in dark and light red, respectively. Features with high and medium contracting activities are shown in dark and light blue, respectively. All patterns shown possess a minimal growth time of 3s. The black dots show local maxima of the local dispersion in areas of medium and high expanding activity.
