Abstract
Collective migration is critical to many physiological processes, but few methods allow for studying this behavior with precisely controlled cell-cell interaction. Here we report the development of a microchip based on co-culture of different types of cells and selective injury, and explore the dynamics of epithelial collective migration triggered by a real cell group.
