ABSTRACT
Here, we present a protocol for electrotaxis of large epithelial cell sheets without compromising the integrity of cell epithelia in a high-throughput customized directed current electrotaxis chamber. We describe the fabrication and use of polydimethylsiloxane stencils to control the size and shape of human keratinocyte cell sheets. We detail cell tracking, cell sheet contour assay, and particle image velocimetry to reveal the spatial and temporal motility dynamics of cell sheets. This approach is applicable to other collective cell migration studies. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Zhang et al. (2022).1.
