METHOD FOR CULTIVATION OF HAIR FOLLICULAR DERMAL SHEATH CELL

摘要

Disclosed is a method for cultivation of a hair follicular dermal sheath cell or a precursor cell thereof which is a potential cellular material for hair regeneration by cell transplantation. The method comprises the step of cultivating a hair follicular dermal sheath cell or a precursor cell thereof in an animal cell culture medium supplemented with a platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF-AA) and a fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2). As a result, the hair follicular dermal sheath cell can be proliferated while maintaining its functions, or the precursor cell can be differentiated into a hair follicular dermal sheath cell and proliferated.
