Abstract

Cell Assay For Evaluation of Initial Action of Cell-Cell Adhesion Using Microfluidic Platform

Masahiro Motosuke, Associate professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Tokyo University of Science

Adhesion of blood cell and endothelial cell in blood stream is an initial event of cell-cell adhesion causing the arteriosclerosis and cancer metastasis. We developed a microfluidic system for the characterization of initial action of cell-cell adhesion. In this presentation, I will introduce our work relating microfluidic cell assay for evaluating the rolling behavior of blood cell.
