Table 3.
Assay | Injury? | Wound shape | Initial wound size | Highest migration | Lowest migration |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Scrape Wound | Yes | Rectangle | d = 2.5 mm | SMC on gelatin | HUVEC on polystyrene |
Out-Growth | No | Circle | d = 4 mm | HUVEC on gelatin | HUVEC on polystyrene |
In-Growth | No | Circle | d = 2 mm | HUVEC on gelatin | HUVEC on polystyrene |
Description categories include whether the assay creates injury, what shape of wound it creates, and the size of the wound. Best overall migration rates after 48 h are also displayed according to cell type and surface substrate
