Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The invention relates to a multi-channel mechanical injury device for injuring cells. Specifically, the present invention provides an 8-channel mechanical injury device for the injury test of cells cultured in the form of a 96-well microplate. Background technique
[0002] Cell migration plays an important role in a variety of normal physiological processes. These processes include embryogenesis, angiogenesis, injury healing, intestinal mucosal injury repair, and immune defense. In some pathological conditions such as arteriosclerosis or gastrointestinal ulcers, extensive detachment of cells is often found, thus requiring immediate reconstruction of an intact monolayer for repair.
[0003] Cell migration is a complex process that requires the coordination of multiple intracellular and extracellular events, such as cytoskeletal reorganization, matrix remodeling, regulation of cell-cell adhesion, and induction of chemoattractants.
