Abstract excerpt
Cell-matrix interactions are thought to influence epithelial structure, growth, and differentiation. Three-dimensional cell cultures were used to study the effects of the composition of the dermal equivalent on the morphology of epithelium grown from HaCaT skin keratinocytes. Three commercial preparations, a basement membrane preparation from a tumor (matrix 1), two preparations consisting of collagen type I and...
