In vitro Culture and Histological Characterization of Extracted Human Hair Follicles

چکیده
Hair transplantation surgery is indicated for the patients with male-pattern baldness that is unresponsive to medical treatments. This procedure can be performed in two different approaches. The first one is the strip harvesting technique; a strip of scalp is removed under local anesthesia and then cut into single follicular units, which are then transplanted back into the balding area in order to have re-growth hairs. The other approach is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which is a novel, convenient and effective technique, Individual Hair Follicles (HF) are extracted and from the occipital scalp and then reinserted back into the recipient area [1,2].

Background Cryopreservation of ovarian cortex is increasingly used to preserve fertility before cancer therapy. Recently, studies show that Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be involved in oocyte maturation. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is member of neurotrophin family that has anti-apoptotic effects on nervous system. Recent researches show that it also plays key role in...

In vitro culture of human ovarian tissue the following cryopreservation is proposed for follicular development. There are no techniques that guarantee successful maturation of the follicles within the excised tissue. The viability of cultured human ovarian tissue improved by adding some growth factors to the culture media. The efficiency of vitrification as the cryopreservation method for human...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) on survival, activation and growth of ovine primordial follicles using histological studies. Pieces of ovine ovarian cortex were obtained and cultured for 6 days in Minimum Essential Medium supplemented with or without FSH (50 ng/mL). These fragments were then process to be used for histology compar...
