Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that ageing of human dermal fibroblasts occurs as a multi-stage process during which cells progress from a mitotic to a post-mitotic state. We describe the development of a simple and novel cell-cloning model for identifying and quantifying the different fibroblast morphotypes associated with the induction of post mitotic behaviour. We have found that under atmospheric (20%) oxygen tension a...
