Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) at concentrations of 10(-9) to 10(-10) M initiates cell division in both confluent and low density non-dividing 3T3 cells. Four days after addition of EGF to confluent or low density non-dividing 3T3 cells there is a 2- and 5-fold increase, respectively, in cell number.
The cells of an established mouse fibroblast line, 3T3, have a high plating efficiency and grow rapidly in sparse culture, but stop growing at a very low saturation density in comparison with other lines, because 3T3 is extremely sensitive to contact inhibition of cell division. After each medium ch
A model of the cell cycle, incorporating a deterministic cell-size monitor and a probabilistic component, is investigated. Steady-state distributions for cell size and generation time are calculated and shown to be globally asymptotically stable. These distributions are used to calculate various sta
