Scientists map hair follicle formation in spacetime, advancing understanding of how organs develop

In a new research report, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have developed a technology that allows them to capture a 3D molecular "snapshot" of hundreds of hair follicles as they develop and then reconstruct the fourth dimension—time—to create a stop-motion animation of how this organ forms. The research was published in the journal Cell.
