Manipulating Cell Migration Using

Amphiphiles10/16/15 Meeting

Project OverviewExtension of previous membrane paper and

Seoyoung’s current workMeasuring how many cells cross a line in 24 hours

Razor blade assay

Preliminary Results: ControlAverage number of migrated cells: 14

EthanolAverage number of migrated cells: 16

Data inconsistent

Benzyl AlcoholAverage Number of Migrated Cells: 38

With outlier removed: 82 Number seems very high. Possible cells were not

removed.

ImprovementsCollect more data

Fix and stain correctlyCreate razor wound more effectively, remove debris

Computer aided counting?Test Vitamin E as wellChange in shape?
