Abstract
The study of dynamic cellular processes demands appropriate test systems. While static endpoint measurements fail to reflect kinetic variation, a real-time system provides comprehensive insights into cellular migration and invasion processes. Here we present how this method has been applied to study inflammation, and cancer metastasis.
