Photoactivatable substrates applications

FIGURE 3.3.6 Applications of a first-generation photoactivatable substrate to single cell migration studies. 

The first-generation photoactivatable substrates demonstrated a wide range of applications based on their dynamic features with high spatiotemporal resolutions. However, there was a big technical limitation regarding the cell-repelling ability of the nonirradiated surfaces. The cell-repelling ability of the nonirradiated regions does not last for more than...
