hair follicle stem cells HFSCs CD49f fluorescence activated flow cytometry in vivo grafting models in vitro model multipotency quiescence activation stem cells flow cytometry

TLDR Researchers found a good way to isolate hair follicle stem cells from newborn goats for further study.

Researchers described two methods for isolating hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) from newborn Yangtze River Delta White Goats. They found a suitable method and noted differences in cell viability and HFSC marker protein expression between the methods. CD49f-positive HFSCs were sorted using fluorescence activated flow cytometry. These sorted HFSCs could be used in in vivo grafting models and as an in vitro model to study multipotency, quiescence, and activation.
