The architecture of fibroblast monolayers of different origin differentially influences tumor cell growth.

Abstract excerpt

Normal human and murine fibroblasts can inhibit proliferation of tumor cells when co-cultured in vitro. The inhibitory capacity varies depending on the donor and the site of origin of the fibroblast. It requires direct cell-to-cell contact and is not transferable with supernatant. Here, we show that effective inhibition also requires the formation of a morphologically intact fibroblast monolayer before the...
