Cell motility suite Description

Migration is a widely studied in cell biology because it is an important aspect of cellular behaviour. Many components participate in this process in a highly dynamic manner. To be able to obtain a better insight in cell migration, mutants or drugs are used and their motive phenotype is then linked with the disturbing factors. A popular approach to study motion paths of individual cells consists of fitting mean square displacements to a persistent random walk function.Because the numerous calculations involved rely usually on various commercial software packages, the analysis can be expensive, labour-intensive and error-prone work. On top of this, due to the nature of algorithms employed the calculations involved are not readily reproducible without access to the exact software package(s) used.All things considered, the Cell motility suite was created to support convenient, free cell motion path analysis.
