Wound Healing and Migration Assays

The wound healing assay is one of the most prominent methods for studying directional cell migration in vitro. Measuring the kinematics of wound healing through the migration of cells requires a cell-free gap between two cell-covered areas. The scratch assay—a typical method for producing cell-free areas—shows poor reproducibility and user-dependent effects.

In this webinar, Elias Horn introduces a new method for wound healing and migration assays based on the ibidi Culture-Insert. The Culture-Insert produces a precisely defined gap size between two cell patches for time-lapse microscopy. He will present the complete workflow of the assay, from sample preparation and live cell imaging to quantitative image analysis. Various application examples will complete this scientific lecture.
