What Does HDF Stand For?
HDF stands for Human Diploid Fibroblast
HDF, or Human Diploid Fibroblast, refers to a type of cell derived from human connective tissue that is characterized by its diploid nature, meaning it contains two complete sets of chromosomes. These cells play a crucial role in the maintenance and repair of tissues, and they are widely used in research, particularly in studies related to cell biology, genetics, and regenerative medicine. HDFs are important for understanding cellular aging, the effects of various treatments, and modeling human diseases in vitro. Their unique properties make them a valuable tool in both biotechnology and pharmaceutical development.
