Les cellules exposées à des gradients de concentration stable de l'EGF dans un dispositif microfluidique migré vers des concentrations plus élevées. L'orientation directionnelle de la migration cellulaire, l'index chimiotactique, la motilité des cellules en migration ont été étudiés par l'analyse des cellules de suivi. Par conséquent, cette plate-forme de gradient générant microfluidique pourrait être utile pour étudier les métastases du cancer, l'embryogenèse, et le guidage axonal.

I wanna try it on my cells. Can you give me some ready-to-use devices?
