August 2019 in “Cell Proliferation” This study found that 3D cultured hair follicle-like constructs, which include keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells, showed improved gene expression and cell interactions relevant to hair follicle development.
July 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that tyramine-linked hyaluronan gel effectively supports the 3-D culture of ovarian follicles, facilitating the maturation of functional metaphase II oocytes that can develop into blastocysts.

December 2011 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that a three-dimensional hydrogel culture system supports the growth and maintenance of distinct dermal papilla cell types, crucial for skin reconstitution assays in neonatal mice.
April 2026 in “Microsystems & Nanoengineering” This study developed HA-gel-dex hydrogels with enhanced ECM-like properties and functionality, showing promise for 3D bioprinting, tissue repair, and as wound dressings due to improved cell interaction, cytocompatibility, antimicrobial synergy, and wound healing in mice compared to traditional ECM bio-inks.
This research found that keratin hydrogels derived from human hair may support cell viability and proliferation, indicating potential as 2D and 3D soft tissue culture scaffolds.
