We have been growin LNCaP cells and they were growing well, recently they stopped, they attach but don't reach confluence any help regarding this?

03 April 2019 0 1K Report

We grow them in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% FCS we have moved up the FCS to as much as 20% and the cells still don't reach confluency.
