HaCat cell line is a spontaneously immortalized human keratinocyte cell line that was derived from adult human skin. This cell line is widely used in research related to skin biology, dermatology, and wound healing due to its ability to differentiate and form multi-layered epidermal structures in culture.
The HaCat cell line was first established in 1988 by Boukamp and Fusenig, and since then, it has become a popular model for studying various skin diseases, as well as for testing the cytotoxicity of potential therapeutic agents on skin cells. The HaCat cell line is known for its easy cultivation, stable growth characteristics, and ability to form tight epithelial barriers in culture, making it a valuable tool for in vitro studies of skin biology and pathology.
Overall, the HaCat cell line is a valuable research tool that has contributed significantly to our understanding of skin biology and has the potential to advance our knowledge of skin diseases and wound healing.
