    TLDR Canine stem cell aggregates can effectively replace natural dermal papillae for hair research.
    This study explored the potential of using canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) to create dermal papilla-like tissue (DPLT) as an alternative to actual canine dermal papillae (DP) for hair regeneration research. The researchers successfully reconstructed DPLTs, which were morphologically and molecularly similar to natural DPs. The study involved culturing canine dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and comparing their gene and protein expression to that of DPLTs using RT-PCR analysis and Western blotting. The findings indicated that DPLTs could serve as a viable substitute for DPs, enhancing the understanding of canine hair follicle biology and potentially informing therapeutic strategies for human alopecia.
