Study Overview
Dermal papilla cells are the cells that form the basis of hair.
FGF-7 promotes hair growth.
Additionally, VEGF has the effect of attracting surrounding blood vessels.
In this test, your sample is added to dermal papilla cells.
We test whether the dermal papilla cells express FGF-7 and VEGF.
We can also test mRNA expression levels using real-time PCR.
Furthermore, it is possible to test protein expression levels using ELISA.
