Abstract excerpt
We have previously reported that fetal and adult skin fibroblasts display distinctive migratory phenotypes on 3-D collagen substrata and that these behavioural characteristics may be quantified by a function defined as the cell density migration index (CDMI). Subsequent work indicated that this d...
