Abstract excerpt
We have observed that cells of various epithelial lines exhibit the ability to migrate through permeable membrane substrates containing 3.0 microns pores. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations of Vero C1008 and Caco-2 cell lines grown on polycarbonate membranes containing 3.0 microns pores revealed extensive penetration of the filter and the establishment of virtually complete monolayers on...
