[Adherent capacity of human macrophages in short-term cultures. Activity in an aged population]. / Studio della capacita' aderente dei macrofagi umani in colture a breve termine. Attivita' nella popolazione anziana.

We studied the morphological modifications that the adherent human cells of aged subjects show in short term cultures in an atmosphere containing 5% CO2, in comparison with young controls. The sequential variations in the morphological aspect are nearly the same of the young subject, but they seem to occur late, during the observations at 2,4,8,20 hours.
