TLDR Zinc/silicon-infused hydrogel helps regenerate hair follicles.

The study investigates the use of a 3D-printed GelMA hydrogel scaffold infused with zinc and silicon ions to promote hair follicle regeneration. Results show that this GelMA-zinc/silicon hydrogel activates hair follicle stem cells and enhances neovascularization, leading to hair growth and improved perfusion recovery in a mouse excisional model. This approach effectively regulates hair follicle regeneration by impacting stem cells and promoting angiogenesis, presenting a promising strategy for cutaneous regenerative medicine.
