What are the Techniques Used to Study Cell Movement?
Several techniques are employed to study cell movement in histology:
Live-cell imaging: Allows visualization of cell movement in real-time using time-lapse microscopy. Fluorescence microscopy: Utilizes fluorescent markers to label cytoskeletal components and adhesion molecules. Traction force microscopy: Measures the forces exerted by cells on their substrate. In vitro migration assays: Such as wound healing assays and transwell migration assays.
