Figure 1 Human hair follicle isolation and organ culture. (a) Scalp skin biopsy. (b) Skin biopsy is cut into dissectible pieces. (c) The distal portion of anagen hair follicles are removed and extra subcutaneous fat trimmed before hair follicles are dissected under a stereo microscope. (d) Dissected human hair follicles are cultured in a 24-well plate. (e) Cultured hair follicles grow in vitro and their length can be measured with the measuring graticule attached to the eyepiece of a microscope.
