Which media to use for characterisation of fibroblast and preadipocytes?

22 November 2023 0 4K Report

I have to characterise fibroblasts and preadipocytes from fat tissue. MOst of the articles have used DMEM/ F12, while some have used DMEM. Is there any rational behind using specific media over the other?
