DEVICE, PLATFORM, AND ASSAY FOR ASSESSING CELLS

摘要

This invention provides devices capable of assessing the migration response in the presence of a stable encapsulated gradient of a factor or factor combination, and quantifying the adherence response inside micro-channels in the presence of different factors. This invention also provides a piatform for obtaining information relating to migration score or the quantification of adhered cells through use of the devices of the present invention, and it allows this information to be used to assess therapeutic potential Additionally, the invention provides a method to quantify the cells migration response and the cell adherence response.
