Human fibroblasts condense a hydrated collagen lattice to a tissue-like structure 1/28th the area of the starting gel in 24 h. The rate of the process is regulated by varying the protein content of the lattice, the cell number or the concentration of an inhibitor such as colcemid. Fibroblasts of high population doubling level propagated in vitro, which have left the cell cycle, carry out the contraction at least as efficiently as cycling cells. The potential uses of the system as an immunologically tolerated tissue for wound healing and as a model for studying fibroblast function are discussed.
