All four of the principle dermal and epidermal cell types from
the adult hair follicle (dermal papilla and sheath, germinative
epidermal and outer root sheath) can now be grown in culture.
The germinative epidermal cells from the source of the hair fibre
appear to be the most visually distinctive of these populations,
but all four can be morphologically, synthetically and behaviourally
distinguished from general interfollicular skin cells. The germinative
population also most obviously exhibit many classical stem cell
attributes, but the interactive and inductive capabilities of
all of the cell types, in addition to their multipotential natures,
highlights that they all share an intriguing level of developmental
flexibility.
