Its key limitation is the possible confoundment by other cellular phenotypes, causing misinterpretation... cell motility difference and extrinsic factors such as cell seeding density can significantly affect final interpretation of therapeutic impacts on cellular phenotypes. Such discrepancy can be rectified by using the actual wound closure time of each
