Abstract
No differences in appearance or in cell size distribution were observed between cultured fibroblasts derived from normal skin, mature scars, or keloids. Artifactual differences in cell size distributions between strains can result when populations are compared at different cell densities. Keloid derived fibroblasts remain euploid in culture, and they have the same growth rate and same degree of density-dependent growth inhibition as cultured normal human fibroblasts.Keywords
