TLDR Hair bulb cells can create skin-like tissues for potential skin repair.
The study demonstrated that skin-like structures could be generated in vitro by implanting early passages of cultured hair bulb cells into collagen/chitosan porous scaffolds. This approach utilized the unique properties of hair bulb cells and the supportive environment provided by the scaffolds to promote the formation of skin-like tissues. The findings suggested potential applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly for skin repair and reconstruction.
