Methods and Compositions Related to a Matrix Chip.

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to devices and methods for evaluating the interactions between cells and between cells and matrix materials wherein the cellular distribution patterns formed as a result of such interactions are indicators of the invasive potential(s) of the cells. Furthermore, such devices and methods can provide indications of the preferred sites of metastasis of invasive cells; the efficacy of an anti-cancer drug applied to such cells; and the potential for agents to promote or enhance tumor growth or metastasis.
