Cells from the human trabecular meshwork providing a drainage system for the outflow of aqueous humour in the eye were isolated and propagated in monolayer culture. Following serial subcultivation of… (More)
Explants of two types of chamber angle tissue derived from five human autopsy eyes and five freshly enucleated monkey eyes were kept under tissue culture conditions for 1–3 days and then incubated… (More)
In ten of 18 eyes from nine patients with Werner's syndrome cataract surgery was complicated by wound dehiscence and its consequences: peripheral anterior synechiae (4X), secondary epiretinal gliosis… (More)
Freshly isolated ciliary body explants and tips of ciliary processes derived from human eyes were cultured in serum-containing or serum-free defined medium. These cultures synthesized tissue-bound… (More)
UNLABELLED
THE AIM of this study was to determine the activity of cathepsin D and alpha(1)-antitrypsin in the blood serum of patients with mammary carcinoma.
PATIENTS AND METHODS

Long-term treatment (several weeks and months) of cultured human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38) with cortisol (1.4 x 10(-7) M) stimulated proliferative activity and cellular glycosaminoglycan synthesis,… (More)
The NaCl content of the culture medium of human fibroblasts (WI-38) was elevated from 0.12 M to 0.23 M. Previously it had been shown that exposure of fibroblasts to such high NaCl conditions resulted… (More)
Addition of human recombinant interleukin-1 (IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta) to culture medium (supplemented MEM without or with 1%, 10%, or 20% fetal calf serum (FCS)) of human skin fibroblasts exerted a… (More)
Human diploid fibroblast (WI-38) in monolayer culture were treated with exogenous glycosaminoglycans for short (up to 4 days) or long (several weeks and months) periods, and the effects on growth and… (More)
