Abstract excerpt
To investigate the role of peritoneal mesothelial cells in regulating hematopoiesis, as well as inflammation, healing, and tissue regeneration processes, long-term cultures of peritoneal mesothelial cells from human endocavitarian fluids were established. The purity of the cell population was assessed by morphologic and immunocytochemical criteria. Five peritoneal mesothelial cell cultures were analyzed for...
