Effect of selective nutrients in medium on human skin fibroblasts growth and metabolism

A thorough understanding of cell metabolism and physiology is necessary for medium optimization, where cells can improve their yield and increase their efficiency of medium utilization or minimize the formation of toxic by-products. The objectives of the present study are to investigate the effect o...
