Cell migration assays

Cell migration assays are laboratory tests that measure the ability of cells to move from one location to another, which is important for processes like healing or cancer spread. In these assays, cells are placed in a controlled environment, and scientists observe how they move across a surface or through a gel over time. This helps researchers understand how cells respond to different signals or treatments, offering insights into wound repair, immune response, and disease progression. These tests are vital tools for studying cell behavior and developing new medical therapies.
