Abstract:
In this article the authors have reviewed the historical background behind the organ culture of whole hair follicles. The methods developed by the authors and others for the isolation and whole organ maintenance of hair follicles from both human and other species are described. How whole organ models have been used to further understanding of the biology of the hair follicle and how they may be used in the future are discussed.
