title: [Biological activity of fibers in vitro and in vivo].
abstract: Understanding of the biological effects of fibres has been archievied due to a large number of in vitro (cytotoxicity on free cells) and experimental studies. However, the basic mechanisms are still unknown. Results showed that fibres act on various levels, nuclear, metabolic, immunologic or molecular.
