Abstract excerpt
Five human skin fibroblast lines were studied for type I collagen production and type I procollagen mRNA levels through the different growth phases. The cells were plated at low density and followed for 11 days at daily intervals through the stages of rapid growth and visual confluency until the cultures reached stationary growth phase. Each day one culture flask was labeled with [3H]proline for 24 h, and...
