IGF-I stimulates proliferation of spontaneously immortalized human keratinocytes (HACAT) by autocrine/paracrine mechanisms
HaCaT keratinocytes are derived from adult human skin and although spontaneously immortalized, remain highly related to their normal counterparts. We observed that HaCaT cells can proliferate in serum-free med...
