Utilizing custom-designed galvanotaxis chambers to study directional migration of prostate cells.
Published in Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
The physiological electric field serves specific biological functions, such as directing cell migration in embryo development, neuronal outgrowth and epithelial wound healing. Applying a direct current electric field to cultured cells in vitro induces directional cell migration, or galvanotaxis. The 2-dimensional galvanotaxis method we demonstrate ...
