What Does HDF Stand For?
HDF stands for Human Dermal Fibroblast
HDF, or Human Dermal Fibroblast, refers to a type of cell found in the dermis layer of human skin. These cells play a critical role in maintaining skin structure and function by producing extracellular matrix components, collagen, and elastin, which provide strength and elasticity. HDFs are essential for wound healing, tissue repair, and overall skin rejuvenation, making them a focal point in dermatological research and regenerative medicine.
