Low oxygen stimulates proliferation of fibroblasts seeded as single cells

Abstract excerpt

In standard tissue culture conditions (20% oxygen), single human dermal fibroblasts (one cell per well) do not proliferate. We now report that low oxygen tension is a potent stimulus for the proliferation and expansion of human adult and neonatal dermal fibroblasts seeded as single cells. This preferential single-cell proliferation in low oxygen is shown to be also a feature of human lung and dermal rodent...
