Human Dermal Fibroblasts-neonatal (HDF-n)

Product Description

Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) are the most prevalent cell in human dermis, and one of the most important architects of cutaneous would healing ^[1]. The fibroblast is a malleable cell, capable of altering its function and physiology or even transforming into a new cell type, based on its location within the body. The dermal fibroblast also has the unique title of being the first human somatic cell to be induced into a pluripotent stem cell line ^[2,3].

iXCells Biotechnologies provides high quality Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) from normal donors including neonatal foreskinand adult skin (Cat# 10HU-014), or from adult skin of Type 1 Diabetes (Cat# 10HU-219) patients. These cells are derived from the dermis of normal human neonatal foreskin or adult skin and cryopreserved at the end of primary culture. HDF are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. They can further expand inFibroblast Growth Medium (Cat# MD-0011) for no more than 3 passages under the condition suggested by iXCells Biologies. Further expansion may decrease the proliferation rate and purity.
