The effect of cell crowding on DNA synthesis (incorporation of 3HTdR and 32P04) was studied by an improved method in monolayers of secondary cells and established cell lines, either normal or transformed by viruses or carcinogens. The method was based mainly on pulse labeling of cultures of cells a

## Abstract Suspension cultures of Lβ929 fibroblasts grown to densities of 6 to 10 Γ 10^6^ cells/ml through daily centrifugation and resuspension in fresh media, have been maintained for periods up to five months without change in viability or cell size. DNA synthesis and mitosis in these cultures
## Abstract Initiation of proliferation in densityβinhibited chick embryo fibroblast cultures induced by insulin or trypsin was partially reversed by replacing the medium with supernatants from parallel nonβstimulated cultures. Growth stimulation by neuraminidase, pokeweed mitogen, bacterial lipo p
## Abstract Observations on the pattern of nuclear incorporation of ^3^HβTdR in long term (8βday) and short term (3βday) 3T3 cultures with local cell densities between 0.2 Γ 10^4^ and 6.2 Γ 10^4^ cells/cm^2^ are reported. Contrary to a number of previous studies our observations indicate that densi
## Abstract Cell proliferation in densityβinhibited chick embryo cell cultures was induced by microgram quantities of insulin, neuraminidase, trypsin or papain. Other proteins tested, including albumin, fetuin, ribonuclease and hyaluronidase were inactive except in very high concentrations (> 100 ΞΌ
Pig kidney cells exhibit resistance to puromycin when cultured at high cell densities, growing progressively in otherwise lethal concentrations of drug. Comparison of population growth of cultures inoculated at different densities indicates that survival in puromycin is a function of cell density. U
