Basic cell migration parameters, including speed, persistence, and polarity can be easily measured using the scratch-wound test. Before inserting a narrow “wound” using a pipette tip, cells are grown to confluence. Wound healing begins at the wound's edge, where cells polarize and enter the wound space.21
