Abstract excerpt
In order to better understand how outer root sheath (ORS) cells are able to reepithelialize superficial skin wounds, the level of epidermal differentiation achieved by isolated ORS cells in vitro was determined. Using postmitotic human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) as efficient feeder cells, large numbers of ORS cells from individual follicles were generated. Passaged ORS cells were grown exposed to air on...
