Generation of smooth muscle cells from hair follicle stem cells
This protocol describes a method for derivation of smooth muscle-like cells from hair follicle stem cells. Differentiation is achieved by culturing hair follicle stem cells in medium supplemented with transforming growth factor-β1 and platelet-derived growth factor BB for 8 days. The derived cells express smooth muscle-specific markers, and can contract.
