Abstract

Time‐lapse cinematography was used to investigate the movement of confronting populations of human mammary epithelium and stromal cells (fibroblasts). Epithelial cell islands from fibro‐adenomas and from normal lacteal secretions completely excluded the fibroblasts, and individual cell territories were maintained even in dense cultures. Electron microscopy of the boundary between epithelium and fibroblasts showed that the two cell types made contact. In contrast, epithelial islands from two carcinomas did not retain territorial integrity and allowed penetration of mammary fibroblasts. Confronting homologous epithelial islands from benign tumours merged, but this was shown to be due to interdigitation rather than free mixing of cells. Epithelial cells moved actively but unlike fibroblasts they retained their neighbour relationships.

## Abstract The binding of [^125^I]‐epidermal growth factor (EGF) and [^125^I]‐basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to a number of single‐cell cloned rat mammary cell lines was measured using a saturation assay. Similar numbers of high‐affinity [^125^I]‐EGF binding sites (K~D~ 1.3 nM) were found i

The growth and differentiation of normal and neoplastic epithelial cells may be regulated by the presence of adjacent normal tissues and cells, particularly stromal fibroblasts. However, the influence of normal fibroblast-tumor cell interactions on the response of malignant epithelial cells to radia
