Initial healthy cell stiffness distributions applied to tissue with various spatial arrangements (a) Log-normal cell stiffness distribution with a mean of 500 Pa and mode 465 Pa (standard deviation of 115 Pa) applied to a spatially homogeneous tissue (b) Log-normal distribution cell stiffness distribution with a mean of 500 Pa and mode 425 Pa (standard deviation of 175 Pa) applied to a spatially non-homogeneous tissue, where clusters are formed between mechanically similar cells (64 seed cells around which other cells are sequentially populated)
