  1. Persistence is a measure for the probability to continue movement in the same direction. The direction change (deg/min) reflects the frequency of turning. n, number of cells analyzed. The difference in speed and persistence was statistically significant. Cells from four independent experiments were evaluated. NS, not significant.
