Many upregulated genes stimulate tumor cell migration and invasion, leading to poor prognosis. Determining which genes regulate tumor cell migration and invasion is critical. This protocol presents a method for investigating the effects of the increased expression of a gene on the migration and invasion of tumor cells in real time.

Real-Time Quantitative Measurement of Tumor Cell Migration and Invasion Following Synthetic mRNA Transfection

Tumor cells are highly motile and invasive and display altered gene expression patterns. Knowledge of how changes in gene expression regulate tumor cell ...

Escherichia coli&#160;causes sepsis in neonates who ingest the bacteria around the time of birth. The process involved in&#160;E. coli&#8217;s&#160;ability to travel from the enteric tract to the bloodstream is poorly understood. This&#160;in vitro&#160;model assesses the ability of&#160;E. coli&#160;strains to travel through the intestinal epithelial cells.

Assessment of Intestinal Transcytosis of Neonatal Escherichia coli Bacteremia Isolates

Newborns ingest maternal E. coli strains that colonize their intestinal tract around the time of delivery. E. coli strains with the ability to translocate ...
