March 2024 in “International Research Journal of Modernization in Engineering Technology and Science” This article explores the use of 3D printing technology to produce hair in the beauty industry, addressing safety concerns, explaining the creation process, and highlighting its benefits over traditional hair while noting its positive environmental impact.
August 2024 in “Cosmoderma” 3D-printed hair follicles could revolutionize hair loss treatments by providing unlimited hair grafts.
July 2024 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” In this study, researchers used a 3D in vitro organ culture system to show that rifampicin-loaded lipid nanocapsules can penetrate hair follicles more effectively than free rifampicin, highlighting the potential advantage of nanocarrier-based antibiotic treatments for follicular infections.
February 2025 in “International Journal of Bioprinting” This study constructed a 3D-printed scaffold using sodium alginate, gelatin, and alginate lyase hydrogel, which supports hair follicle regeneration in artificial skin, suggesting a promising strategy for tissue-engineered skin with functional appendages.
March 2023 in “International Journal of bioprinting” This study found that a bioprinted hydrogel scaffold with zinc and silicon ions significantly activated hair follicle stem cells and enhanced blood vessel formation, promoting hair growth in mouse wound models.
