,
June 2013 in “Biomaterials” This study developed a 3D engineered hair follicle model that mimics the native hair bulb and may aid in drug screening for hair growth therapies.
July 2026 in “Acta Biomaterialia” This study introduced a bioengineering platform that creates early-stage hair peg-like structures within tissue-engineered skin substitutes by integrating human keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells with laser-micropatterned collagen scaffolds, providing a foundation for future appendage-inclusive skin regeneration efforts.
