Human Dermal Fibroblasts

Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDP) is a product name for dermal fibroblasts which often are isolated from the dermis of normal human neonatal foreskin or adult skin. Because neonatal foreskins are almost always taken away from the newborn boys without any medical indication and thus illegally, the production of HDP based on neonatal foreskin is highly unethical and probably even illegal and should be prosecuted by law.

Dermal fibroblasts

(The following text or part of it is quoted from the free Wikipedia article Dermal fibroblast:)

Dermal fibroblasts are cells within the dermis layer of skin which are responsible for generating connective tissue and allowing the skin to recover from injury.[1] Using organelles (particularly the rough endoplasmic reticulum), dermal fibroblasts generate and maintain the connective tissue which unites separate cell layers.[2] Furthermore, these dermal fibroblasts produce the protein molecules including laminin and fibronectin which comprise the extracellular matrix. By creating the extracellular matrix between the dermis and epidermis, fibroblasts allow the epithelial cells of the epidermis to affix the matrix, thereby allowing the epidermal cells to effectively join together to form the top layer of the skin.
