Abstract
Metastasis is the major cause of death in breast cancer patients. The interaction with mesenchymal stem/stromal cells promotes breast cancer metastasis. To investigate cellular engulfment in vitro, we have developed a high-throughput cell pairing and retrieval platform, which enables: (1) integration of 3,000 cell-pairing micro-chambers, allowing for contact of paired cancer cells and MSCs in each chamber, (2) automatic image collection and analysis to quantify engulfing rates, and (3) retrieval of target engulfing cells for downstream analysis.
