DETERMINATION OF THE NORMAL RATE AND DURATIOIS OF MITOSIS IN HUMAN EPIDERMIS*

Louis B. Fisher

Open publisher page 37 citations

Abstract

SUMMARY. A standardized method has been evolved for determining the mitotic rate of epidermis for a period of 5 hr. This gives consistent results for the epidermis of both adult men and women. The mitotic rate of normal epidermis from adult men and women measured over a 5 hr. period (using colcemid) is 1·44 and 1·17 mitoses per 1000 viable epidermal cells, respectively. The duration of mitosis of normal epidermis is approximately 90 min.
