Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Ovarian surface epithelium (OSE), the precursor of the epithelial ovarian carcinomas, has limited growth potential in culture. Epidermal growth factor+hydrocortisone (EGF+HC) enhances its growth but induces epitheliomesenchymal transition (EMT). This study was undertaken to define the effects of EGF+HC and their reversibility, to optimize growth-promoting media, and to relate OSE phenotypes in vitro to...
