## Abstract In resting, non‐growing human diploid fibroblasts the amount of rRNA is reduced 1.8‐fold, cytoplasmic polysomes are disaggregated, and the level of poly‐A RNA (mRNA) is reduced 1.8‐fold in relation to growing cells. The distribution of poly‐A RNA is altered in resting, non‐growing cells

## Abstract There have been very few studies on ribonucleotide reductase activity in human tissue. In this report we describe a rapid and convenient procedure for determining purine and pyrimidine ribonucleotide reduction in normal human diploid fibroblasts and use the method to examine some genera
## Abstract The regulation of hexose transport under glucose‐starvation conditions was studied in cultured human skin fibroblasts. Glucose starvation enhanced the transport of 2‐DG and 3‐O‐methyl‐D‐glucose (3‐OMG) but not of L‐glucose. Glucose‐starvation enhanced transport was inhibited by cytochal
## Abstract Two predictions of the error/mutation hypothesis of cellular sensecence (Orgel, '73) namely, (a) exponential accumulation of somatic mutations during the replicative lifespan and (b) shortening of culture lifespan upon treatment with mutagens have been examined experimentally in a strai
## Abstract The relationship of cell surface changes to proliferative decline of human diploid fibroblasts was investigated using the concanavalin A‐mediated red blood cell adsorption assay. The amount of the red blood cells adsorbed to human diploid fibroblasts via concanavalin A increased contino
Human diploid fibroblasts (IMR-90) regulate their overall rates of proteolysis in response to the composition of t h e culture medium and the ambient temperature. The magnitude and, in some cases, t h e direction of t h e response depend on the half-lives of the cellular proteins that are radioactiv
