research Organotypic Cocultures as Models to Study Cell-Cell and Cell-Matrix Interactions of Human Hair Follicle Cells
Human dermal fibroblasts and hair papilla cells help outer root sheath cells grow and develop properly.
research Survival of patchwork melanoblasts is dependent upon their number in the hair follicle at the end of embryogenesis
More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
