Drift-Diffusion Analysis of Neutrophil Migration during Inflammation Resolution in a Zebrafish Model

Table 2

Estimated coefficients for the drift-diffusion model and pure-diffusion model of cell migration away from the wound (standard deviation is given in brackets). An F-test value >5 indicates that the drift-diffusion model should be preferred to the pure-diffusion model.
