Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of measuring cell migration, the method comprising (a) contacting a cell with a plurality of polystyrene non-fluorescent beads so as to generate a migratory track; and (b) analyzing at least one morphometric parameter of said migratory track, the morphomotric parameter being indicative of cell migration. The present invention also relates to methods of treating a medical condition associated with cell migration, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an agent capable of modulating the activity or expression of genes identified using the above assay, thereby treating the medical condition associated with cell migration.
