  "term": "Chemotaxis assay",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A laboratory method used to quantify the directed movement of cells in response to a chemical gradient. These assays typically involve a barrier separating cells from a chemoattractant, allowing measurement of cell migration towards the stimulus. Common techniques include the Boyden chamber assay and microfluidic devices.",
