This proposal is to develop instrumentation to study the morphology and organization of a cell during detachment of the cell from a surface. The detachment will be caused by aspiration through a micropipette; observations of the cell-substrate interface will be made using total internal reflection fluorescence. Cell adhesion plays a crucial role in both biomedical and bioprocessing problems such as bioreactor design, tumor cell metastasis and the triggering of inflammatory responses. The proposed methodology should greatly facilitate quantitative, engineering-oriented research in these important areas.

该建议是开发仪器来研究细胞从表面脱离过程中细胞的形态和组织。 脱离将是由通过微量移动物吸入引起的。将使用总内反射荧光进行细胞基底界面的观察。 细胞粘附在生物医学和生物处理问题中都起着至关重要的作用，例如生物反应器设计，肿瘤细胞转移以及炎症反应的触发。 所提出的方法应该极大地促进这些重要领域的定量，以工程为导向的研究。
