Summary

The authors have developed a technique to quantitatively assess follicle growth in culture. Rat hair follicles increase in volume when chondroitinsulfate A, but not B and C, is added to the culture medium.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurde eine Methode entwickelt, mit deren Hilfe das in vitro-Wachstum von Haarfollikeln quantitativ gemessen werden kann. Rattenhaarfollikel vergrößern das Organvolumen bei Zusatz von Chondroitinsulfat A, nicht aber B oder C zum Kulturmedium.
