Examples of applications:
• Transport studies:
- for the transport of molecules, hormones, growth factors;
- for the transport of medicines through the epithelium (CaCO₂) and endothelial barriers;
- for the transport of molecules through the microvascular endothelial cells of the brain.
• Chemotaxis study: migration of cells including eosinophiles, neutrophiles, macrophages
• Invasion studies: tumourous invasion and metastasis models, invasion inhibitors, effects of the extracellular matrix
• Co-culture studies: cell/cell interaction; cell/matrix interaction; cell/substrate interaction
• Cell engineering: angiogenesis, models of tissues in the dermis/epidermis or epithelial tissues
