Metabolic and Morphological Differences between Rapidly Proliferating Cancerous and Normal Breast Epithelial Cells
29 Feb 2008
Abstract excerpt
The metabolic and morphological characteristics of two human epithelial breast cell populations--MCF7 cells, a cancerous cell line, and 48R human mammary epithelial cells (48R HMECs), a noncancerous, finite lifespan cell strain--were compared at identical growth rates. Both cell types were induced to grow rapidly in nutrient-rich media containing 13C-labeled glucose, and the isotopic enrichment of cellular...
