The effect of lithium on the growth of mammary epithelial cells from adult virgin and midpregnant BALBlc or BALBlcfC3H mice was tested in a serumfree collagen gel culture system. The serum-free medium consisted of a 1:l mixture of Ham's F12 and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium supplemented with in

Using rat skin, we studied the influence of fat cells on the proliferation and differentiation of organoid hair follicle cells in a three-dimensional collagen gel matrix culture system. We cultured organoid hair follicles embedded in collagen gel under each of the following three conditions: cell-fr

We examined the effects of 1alpha,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25-DHCC) and the glucocorticoid, cortisol, on primary mouse mammary epithelial cells in collagen gel cell culture systems. Physiological low concentrations (10(-11)-10(-9) M) of 1,25-DHCC stimulated growth of the cells in a collagen ge
