title: Preferential growth of skeletal myoblasts and fibroblasts in co-culture on a dendrimer-immobilized surface.
abstract: Co-culture of human skeletal muscle myoblasts and fibroblasts was performed on a dendrimer-immobilized surface. Morphological changes by cytoskeletal variation were observed, compared with culture on a conventional tissue culture surface, and preferential growth of myoblasts can be achieved by inhibition of fibroblast growth.
