## Abstract The effects of fresh human serum (FHS) and heat‐inactivated human serum (HHS) on the DNA synthesis and proliferation of human diploid fibroblasts were assessed. FHS activated significantly more quiescent fibroblasts to undergo DNA synthesis and proliferation than did HHS. The stimulator

✦ Synopsis
Six diploid human fibroblast strains were grown in confluent monolayers. Holes were scraped in these monolayers and the number of cells proliferating into these "wounds" with time were deiermined. The migration and mitotic aspects of the proliferation of fibroblasts into these wounds were analyzed separaely.
Small amounts of undialysed or dialysed serum were essential for cell division but not migration. Saline extracts of skin could not substitute for serum in the medium. Neither zinc nor cupric ion at tolerable concentrations ( M) increased the rate of cell proliferation.
Normal human fibroblasts did not immediately start to divide from confluency into the "wound" space. Their generation time was about 32-39 hours. Fibroblasts from patients with cystic fibrosis began to divide almost immediately into the "wounded" area. Their generation time was about 48 to 56 hours.

## Abstract We have developed two serum‐free chemically defined media (RITC 78‐6 and RITC 80‐7) that support the growth in culture of human diploid fibroblasts to the same extent as Eagle's basal medium (BME) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). These two media contain modified Eagle's m
Previous studies have documented a marked cytotoxic potency of BisGMA and TEGDMA. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if these substances also affect proliferation, migration, and tenascin expression of primary human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and immortalized human keratinocytes (HaC
## Abstract ## Background In medicine, lasers have been used predominantly for applications, which are broadly termed low level laser therapy (LLLT), phototherapy or photobiomodulation. This study aimed to establish cellular responses to Helium‐Neon (632.8 nm) laser irradiation using different las
Aspergillus oryzae, Mucor mucedo, and Phycomyces blakesleeanus cultures were examined as sources of chitidchitosan. The nitrogen content of the alkali-treated mycelia/sporangiophores of A. oryzae, M. mucedo, and P. blakesleeanus was 2.52, 3.61, and 6.27% w/w, which relates to an estimated chitin con
