Responses of epithelial and fibroblast-like cells to discontinuous configuration of the culture substrate.

Abstract excerpt

The behaviour of epitheliocytes, their transformed analogues, and fibroblasts was studied on special culture substrates--lattices with large square openings (the area of an opening was 2000 microm2). It was shown that normal epithelocytes and fibroblasts initially attached to and spread on the lattice bars, were soon displaced into the lattice openings and appeared to be "sagged" in the substrate-free spaces. The...
