Assay Name
In Vitro Real-time Monitoring of Cell Migration Assay
Assay Description
Real-time monitoring assays have permitted more easy and reliable ways for the detection of cancer cell invasion and migra tion (real-time monitoring).
Assay Type
Cell Migration and Invasion Assays
Assay Type Details
The movement of cancer cells and formation of tumors in neighboring tissue is a sequential cascade known as invasion-metastatic cascade, which includes cancer cell invasion through extracellular matrix (ECM), intravasation into blood and colonization at sites after they exit from blood circulation. Migration and invasion are two dif ferent processes where, cell migration involves movement of cells without passing through a barrier such as ECM, whereas cell invasion involves passing through a barrier such as ECM while destroying it.
