Text

There are different types of hair on the human body which are recommendable for generating iPSCs. Besides scalp hair, other facial hair types like beard, eye brown, or hair from the nose can be used. The specialty of these hair subtypes is that follicles continuously produce thick and pigmented terminal hair unaffected by androgens. These types of hair exist as terminal hair since childhood and the composition and growth are triggered hormonally.
