Abstract |
Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) are epithelial cells that inhabit in the bulge region of hair follicles. They govern development of hair follicle as well as periodically regeneration of hair follicle. Under special condition, they also play roles in homeostasis of skin and other skin appendages. To characterize HFSCs in vitro, HFSCs must be isolated and cultured. In this chapter, we introduce a mechanical method to isolate HFSCs from mouse vibrissa hair follicle, and a modified method to culture isolated HFSCs. We also describe methods to characterize HFSCs, including clone formation assay and chamber graft assay. |
