This workshop will address the role of cell migration in different
physiopathological processes, the different types of cell migration and
the respective morphological, functional and molecular alterations
involved.
We will also present the most commonly used cell-based techniques,
including the wound-healing assay, chemotaxis, random single cell
migration, cell invasion, as well as molecular tools and assays to
dissect the mechanotransduction processes. Practical and laboratory
classes will allow students to contact with key methodologies in the
area.
