Abstract

To overcome the extracellular matrix's (ECM) complexity, cells rely on a plethora of cues to reach specific targets. Cues are concurrently presented to cells, and the cells must discriminate amongst these cues through a mechanism yet to be understood. To study cell navigation, in vitro methods have been developed to create gradients of single cues, such as substrate-bound or soluble proteins. Although insightful, these approaches lack the ability to present cells with multiple cues of various types. Here, we present a platform which for the first time enables the study of cell discrimination between soluble and substrate-bound protein gradients.
