Scientists Grow Fully Functioning Hair Follicles in New Lab First

AuroBlog - Aurous Healthcare Clinical Trials blog

We can add functional mouse hair follicles to body parts that scientists have successfully grown in the lab, outside the body. Using cells obtained from embryonic mice, for the first time researchers were able to produce hair follicle organoids – small, simple versions of an organ – that grew hair.
