What it is: a 2D assay to observe cell migration across an artificially introduced gap in a monolayer. There are multiple ways of introducing wounds, most commonly either by mechanically removing cells or by initially limiting their growth area.
The fluid dynamic principles used in the vitro.one that exert forces on the cells can also be used to stimulate or inhibit cell growth across a wound, which gives deeper insights into healing processes and the cell activities throughout.
