Microfluidic experiments and simulations.
a) Microscopy image of section of the device. b) Microscopy of a MCF-10A cell squeezing between obstacles. (c-d) Simulation snapshots for a MCF-10A cell model squeezing between two diverging constrictions. Fluid particles are omitted. e) Comparison between experiments and simulations for the cell velocities, error bars represent standard deviation.
