Tracing Cell Lineages in Videos of Lens-free Microscopy

Cell growth and migration play key roles in cancer progression: abnormal cell growth can lead to formation of tumors and cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. In order to understand these mechanisms, in vitro experiments are essential. Such experiments allow, for example, to compare the behaviour of modified and wildtype cell lines or measure the influence of certain chemicals on the cells culture, and can therefore be designed to gain insights into biological processes.
