New model to screen ingredients on hair growth by Syntivia

11 October 2023

Sometimes you don’t need to look at the hair follicle, but at what’s going on around it. Syntivia has set up a transcriptomics chip to quantify the expression of major genes involved in various aspects of hair growth: growth factors, catagen phase induction, hair follicle differentiation, hormone regulation, matrix environment, stem-cell maintenance… They work with the two cell types most involved in the induction and maintenance of hair growth:

– Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells (HFDPC) isolated from human dermis of the scalp

– Human Hair Follicle Stem Cell (HFSC) isolated from Hair Follicle bulge.
