Stochastic gene expression dynamics under different stiffness conditions. The green and blue lines depict the relative expression levels of genes from the deterministic model. The magenta and black lines depict the relative expression levels of genes from the stochastic differential equation model with noise term ~ N(0,0.05). Blue and magenta lines represent a first-seeding stiffness of 12 kPa, green and black lines represent a first-seeding stiffness of 34 kPa. The final seeding stiffness is 12 kPa in all cases
