    TLDR DMSO and microfinger devices show promise for preserving hair grafts for hair loss treatments.
    The study explores the cryopreservation of engineered hair follicle germs (HFGs) for hair regenerative medicine. Mouse embryonic epithelial and mesenchymal cells were cultured to form HFG-like structures. The researchers compared slow freezing and vitrification methods for cryopreserving these HFGs. The study was designed and conducted by M.A., T.K., J.F., R.Y., and S.M., with support from various Japanese scientific agencies. The findings are part of an ongoing study, and the data cannot be shared at this time.
