Description

Human Hair Outer Root Sheath Cells (HHFORSC) are sourced from the multiple layers of the hair follicle's outer root sheath, which is continuous with the interfollicular epidermis and obtained from healthy donors. These cells exhibit characteristic spindle-to-polygonal morphology and are recognized for their stem/progenitor cell properties, including nestin expression and epidermal keratinocyte potential. HHFORSC play roles as sensory and immunologic sentinels through epithelial-mesenchymal crosstalk within the follicle. They make HHFORSC excellent models for hair biology, wound healing, and regenerative research. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures and is tested to ensure it is free from contamination by HIV-1, HBV, HCV, Syphilis, Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.

Application

  • HHFORSC offer a robust in vitro system for hair follicle studies, including keratinocyte proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, and nestin+ progenitor characteristics. They can be used to model hair regeneration, sensitivity to sensory factors, and innate immune functions. Their high expansion potential supports screening of hair growth-promoting agents, skin regeneration compounds, and inflammatory modulators targeting epidermal barrier and hair follicle health.
