Protocol for electrotaxis of large epithelial cell sheets

Protocol for electrotaxis of large epithelial cell sheets

Summary: Here, we present a protocol for electrotaxis of large epithelial cell sheets without compromising the integrity of cell epithelia in a high-throughput customized directed current electrotaxis chamber. We describe the fabrication and use of polydimethylsiloxane stencils to control the size a...
