Migration of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells through Porous Membrane

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 32 - Refereed conference paper (without host publication)peer-review

Abstract

Studying the Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell migration behavior in a three-dimensional (3D) platform could lead to a better understanding of NPC metastatic dissemination. In this work, a 3D platform with porous membrane and guiding grating patterns was developed. The orientation of the guiding grating relative to the trench direction in the bottom layer and the effects of trench size on cell traversing probability through porous membrane were investigated. More cells traversed through porous membrane with guiding grating perpendicular to the trench direction in the bottom layer. Probability of cell traversing porous membrane increased as the trench size increased from 10 to 30 μm and decreased when the trench was 70 μm wide with guiding grating perpendicular to trench direction.
