Abstract

We propose a method to biofunctionalise microfluidic systems for cellomic investigations based on microfluidic protocols. The biofunctionalised devices were used to perform cell rolling and investigate tumor cell phenotype changes. The strong attention to the modification of the environment by biomolecules (antibodies, proteins or carbohydrate and lectins) has encouraged the studies of the cell behaviour in biomimetic environments. The final aim of cell rolling investigations is to give etiological explanation of diseases, pathologies and sudden change in cell behaviour or cell phenotype and genotype.
