A method for promoting healing of skin wounds and/or re-establishing a function of skin and/or skin appendices of a skin area, wherein the method comprises applying cells obtained from hair root sheaths of a first skin area of a donor onto a second skin area of a host.
A plurality of cells from hair root sheaths, wherein the cells are from hair root sheaths of a first skin area of a donor and are used in or on a second skin area of a host for promoting a healing of wounds and/or for re-establishing a function of skin and/or its appendices of the second skin area.
A method of preparing a preparation comprising cells from hair root sheaths, wherein the method comprises one or more of the following operations:
- (i) enzymatically detaching cells from a hair root sheath;
- (ii) stopping the enzymatic detachment of (i);
- (iii) centrifuging or filtering a cell suspension for obtaining a sediment or a cell concentrate;
- (iv) suspending the cell sediment or cell concentrate of (iii);
- (v) transferring the cells of (i) or (ii) or the suspension or the sediment or the concentrate of (iii) into a biocompatible solution;
- (vi) inserting or introducing the cells of (i) or (ii) or the suspension or the sediment or the concentrate of (iii) into a biocompatible support;
- (vii) preparing a cell extract.
