Wound healing assays: discussing subtypes of cell removal assays
Cell removal assays are generally a low-tech solution to study migration and wound healing. Here we discuss and compare the stratch assay, stamp wounding, PDMS barrier assay, laser-based wounding, electrical wounding, chemical wounding and vacuum-based wounding.

Hypoxic conditions: The low down on the importance of hypoxia in stem cell culture
As with other in vivo tissues, stem cell niches are an hypoxic environment and exhibit oxygen levels that are notably lower than the ambient environment. Indeed, in most tissues, physiological normoxia ranges from <1-9% oxygen, and stem cell niches are no different. Hypoxia chambers can help to emulate these environments.

Modes of Cell Migration
Cell migration is an essential process involved in important physiological processes such as embryogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing and the immune response. Cells migrate in different modes depending on the type and function of the cells. Leukocytes, for example, migrate the majority of their life span as single cells within virtually any tissue in the body. Many other cell types only move at specific situations to place, shape or repair tissue. Most of these cells move in groups that are loosely or closely associated. This type of migration is called collective cell migration. In this article, different modes of both single cell migration and collective cell migration are discussed.
