The objective of this study was to determine if adenosine alters growth of mammary epithelium. Mouse mammary epithelial cells (NMuMG) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. After serum starvation for 24 h, EGF (0-100 ng/ml) and/or adenosine (0-100 microM) was added. Adenosine

## Abstract A bioartificial kidney, which is composed of a membrane cartridge with renal epithelial cells, can substitute important kidney functions in patients with renal failure. A particular challenge is the maintenance of monolayer integrity and specialized renal epithelial cell functions ex vi
## Abstract We previously demonstrated a high incidence of ras mutation in thyroid follicular (epithelial) cell neoplasms and showed that expression of mutant ras is a potent mitogenic stimulus for normal human follicular cells in culture. Here we show that induction of cell proliferation in primar
We investigated the effects of five different p53 mutants on the growth of primary cultures of normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. The five defective viral pZIP-Neo constructs contained the following mutations at mutational hot-spots found in human cancers: codons 143 ala , 175 his , 248
## Abstract Nine osteosarcoma cell lines, originally developed from six osteosarcoma tumours in five patients, and two cell lines of nonβtumour origin (glia and fibroβblast) were grown __in vitro__ in the presence of human leukocyte interferon (LβIF). LβIF exerted a doseβdependent inhibition of gro
BACKGROUND. The specific paclitaxel dose or time course in the treatment of colon carcinoma without the disruption of normal colonic cell proliferation is currently not known. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of paclitaxel on the growth of human colonic epithelial cells using cultu
