CIL:44506, Canis lupus familiaris, kidney epithelial cell. In Cell Image Library

Time series light microscopy images illustrating a wound healing assay. A monolayer of MDCK (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney) epithelial cells is scratched to create a 'wound' about 300 micrometers in width, after which the growth of the cells to fill the wound is monitored by recording images over the course of 15h.This image is part of a group of 12 that includes control cells (CIL:44501, 502, 506, 507, 508) and after addition of Hepatocyte Growth Factor /Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) to activate HGF/SF-Met signaling (CIL:44503, 504, 505, 509, 510). Also in the group are two movies, one control (CIL:44511), and one HGF/SF treated (CIL:44512). For additional wound healing assays see CIL:43401 and images grouped with it.
