## Abstract Colony‐forming epithelial cells can be separated from the non‐dividing “foam cells” in human milk by differential adhesion to glass and freezing. The growth of such partially purified mammary epithelial cells is stimulated by co‐culture with non‐dividing feeder cells. Foam cells, mitomy

## Abstract The growth regulation of human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) cultured in a growth factor/hormone‐enriched (e.g. EGF, insulin) medium with bovine pituitary extract as the only undefined supplement was studied. The doubling times of the cultures, in which the cells appear in colonies, w
## Abstract Time‐lapse cinematography was used to investigate the movement of confronting populations of human mammary epithelium and stromal cells (fibroblasts). Epithelial cell islands from fibro‐adenomas and from normal lacteal secretions completely excluded the fibroblasts, and individual cell
## Abstract The expression of human mammary epithelial (HME) antigens was studied in primary cell cultures of normal and abnormal breast tissue and of tissues from other organs. By indirect immunofluorescence it was shown that heterologous anti‐HME bound to the cell surface of both suspension and m
## Abstract Retinoic acid (RA) and its derivatives inhibit the proliferation of normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) and some breast carcinoma lines by mechanisms which are not fully understood. To identify genes that mediate RA‐induced cell growth arrest, an HMEC cDNA library was synthesiz
