Fibroblast Quiescence in Floating or Released Collagen Matrices
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts in attached collagen matrices proliferate, whereas cells in floating or released matrices become quiescent. Cells in attached matrices had prominent actin stress fibers, indicating that they were under isometric tension, whereas stress fibers were absent from fibroblasts in floating or released matrices. Compared with cells in attached matrices, cells in floating or released matrices showed...
