GlossaryBioengineered Hair Follicles

artificially created hair follicles using biological techniques

Bioengineered Hair Follicles are hair follicles that have been artificially created or grown in a laboratory setting using biological techniques. These follicles are developed by combining cells, such as dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes, to mimic the natural hair growth process. This technology holds promise for treating hair loss conditions like alopecia by potentially providing a renewable source of hair follicles for transplantation.
