Fetal-adult phenotype transition, in terms of the serum dependency and growth factor requirements, of human skin fibroblast migration.

Abstract excerpt

Since the migration of human fetal skin fibroblasts into a denuded area of a cell monolayer has been demonstrated to be serum-independent (fetal phenotype), whereas that of adult-donor skin fibroblasts is serum-dependent (adult phenotype), a study was carried out to determine at which life stage...
