Isolation and characterization of human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs). a HF-MSCs, resembling typical fibroblast-like cells, spread out from the hair follicle (bar, 200 μm). The multipotent differentiation potential of HF-MSCs was determined. b After 4 weeks of induction, calcium nodules were demonstrated by Alizarin red staining (bar, 100 μm). c After 3 weeks of induction, the number of intracellular lipid droplets was detected by Oil red O staining (bar, 200 μm). d, e Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analysis of cell surface markers on HF-MSCs
