Influence of external constraints to effective forces of cell–cell interaction.
Spherocylindrical constraints corresponding to eggshells are assumed in the particle model used in Fig 2 i) An example of simulations with labeling three cells (red, yellow, and green). For the condition of the spherocylindrical length = 16μm ("compressive”), the array of particles is marked by broken lines. ii) Inferred DF curves. The normalize L2 norms defined in Fig 2 are: 0.062 (40μm), 0.066 (30μm), 0.077 (25μm), 0.16 (20μm), and 0.29 (16μm).
