Abstract

This paper reports an improved method for applying the physical squeezing on cells inside a microfluidic device. It is reported that cancer cells can respond and adapt to extracellular environments in order to cross basement membranes and connective tissues. But, it is not clearly studied that how cancer cells respond and adapt to a confined environment. For this study, we design and develop a one-layer channel to simulate a confined migration environment, and it can apply repetitive and sequential physical squeezing processes to a number of cancer cells inside this microfluidic device. In experiment, every cancer cell suffers a total of 20 physical squeezing processes in channel, and we observed the deformation and adaption using high speed-camera under microscope and the preliminary result indicates that the passing time of cells passing through each row of channel is decreasing.
