DEVICES FOR STUDYING CANCER INVASION AND MIGRATION

摘要

A medical testing device is formed from a polymeric chip. The device comprises a first well in the chip; a second well in the chip; and a microcellular porous foam in the chip, wherein the first well is connected to the second well through the microcellular porous foam and the microcellular porous foam is formed from the material of the polymeric chip. The device is useful for studying cancer cell migration and invasion. Methods for using the device for cell migration, invasion assays, and methods for making the device are also disclosed.
