## Abstract Fibroblasts cultivated in three‐dimensional tissue‐like matrices are characterized by a slowed metabolism and a decrease of protein synthesis, unless they are submitted to physical tensions. We checked the effects of insulin like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I), known as a potent stimulator of
We have recently established a novel fibroblast culture system supplemented with L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. The addition of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate enables human dermal fibroblasts to organize a three-dimensional dermis-like structure by accumulating collagens and extracellular matrices. The p
