Summary

To explore the application of cells expanded from plucked hair follicles after collection, transport, and cryopreservation, in disease modeling and cell-based therapies.

Detailed description

Hair Follicles collected and transported in Acorn's proprietary transport media can serve has therapeutic starting materials for future cell-based therapeutics. This study is to characterize primary cell outgrowth, functional stem cell generation and induced pluripotent stem cell line(s) from primary outgrowth(s) as well as evaluate and characterize differentiation of stem cell lines into functional cell types required for various disease states and cell-based application(s).
