Abstract
The present invention provides automated systems, methods, screens, and software for the analysis of cell spreading. The invention involves providing cells containing fluorescent reporter molecules in an array of locations, contacting the cells with a test stimulus, acquiring images from the cells, and automatically calculating one or more morphological features that provide a measure of cell spreading.
