TLDR Collagen gel contraction in hair follicle culture is mainly influenced by the amounts of collagen, dermal papilla cells, and epithelium cells.
The study identified that the primary factors affecting collagen gel contraction in hair follicle organotypic culture were the concentrations of rat tail collagen, hair follicle dermal papilla cells, and hair follicle epithelium cells. These components played a crucial role in the contraction process, suggesting that manipulating their concentrations could influence the outcomes of hair follicle culture experiments.
