Samenvatting

Recently, cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been proposed as the source of metastases, yet only little is known about the migration of CSCs in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The presence of oxygen gradients in the TME has been linked to directional migration of breast cancer cells. Here, we present a method to study the effect of oxygen gradients on breast CSC migration, using a PDMS microfluidic chip. We demonstrate our capability to perform single cell tracking in a stable gradient. Surprisingly, our results indicate a migration direction opposite to the direction reported in a previous study.
