Abstract excerpt
Normal human dermis contains mesenchymal cells that are generally referred to as fibroblasts. However the relationships between fibroblasts and endothelial cells with respect to the types of spindle-shaped cells that are present in cultures obtained from tumor bearing-skin is unclear. To explore...
