Fibroblast and epithelial cells in tumor samples and primary cultures - (Sep/30/2005 )

Are fibroblasts from a primary culture considered to be normal cells taken from a tumor biopsy as opposed to an epithelial cells?

don't primary fibroblasts come from a skin slice?

or are you referring specifically to tumor fibroblasts?

Fibroblasts that are found within a tumor biopsy (not the skin).
