The recent successes in culturing follicular papilla cells have afforded a rapid advance in our understanding of hair biology. Although the experimental manipulation of the papilla is briefly described in the original reports, a detailed description for workers starting in the field is not yet available. In this report we give a brief review of hair biology relevant to the papilla, and illustrate the method we have found successful for isolating and growing papilla cells.
