Journal ArticleDOI
Cell shape controls terminal differentiation of human epidermal keratinocytes
TL;DR: Cell shape acts as a signal for the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes in culture when substratum contact was restricted, and DNA synthesis was inhibited and expression of involucrin, a marker of terminal differentiation, was stimulated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for two distinct mechanisms of anchorage stimulation in freshly explanted and 3T3 Swiss mouse fibroblasts
TL;DR: These experiments show that anchorage can stimulate by two different mechanisms, and offer a general method of measuring substrate contact stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fine fibrous silica contaminant of flour in the high oesophageal cancer area of north-east Iran.

TL;DR: The discovery and characterization of a fibrous mineral contaminant of the diet in that area of north‐east Iran where oesophageal cancer has a very high incidence is reported and an hypothesis for the involvement of these plant mineral fibres in the aetiology of oesophileal cancer in Iran is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Narrow linear strips of adhesive substratum are powerful inducers of both growth and total focal contact area.
TL;DR: The stimulus to growth that occurs when cells attach to the substratum can be studied with small adhesive islands, and the response of cells to incubation on these arrays allows the anchorage stimulus to be measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relation between surface area and anchorage dependence of growth in hamster and mouse fibroblasts
TL;DR: It is shown that change in exposed surface area can provide a complete explanation for the anchorage dependence of NIL-8 cells and suggest the possibility that this might also be true of animal cells in general.
