GlossaryHair Follicle Culture

laboratory technique growing hair follicles outside the body

Hair Follicle Culture, also known as Follicle Culturing, is a laboratory technique where hair follicles are extracted from the scalp and grown in a controlled environment outside the body. This method is used for studying hair growth, testing the effects of drugs or treatments on hair follicles, and researching conditions like alopecia.
