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.
August 2026 in “Materials & Design” In this study, researchers found that hydrogel scaffolds loaded with Runx2-overexpressing BMSCs significantly enhanced bone regeneration and osteogenic differentiation, offering new insights into treating large bone defects.
November 2025 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” In this study, the authors reported that combining PMSC-secretome and Wnt10b in a GelMA hydrogel scaffold promoted effective hair follicle biofabrication and hair growth in a small in vivo experiment. They emphasized the need for larger studies to confirm these results.
May 2024 in “Journal of colloid and interface science” This study developed a bilayer bionic skin scaffold that mimics the skin's structure to resist microbial invasion and enhance wound healing, with in vivo animal studies showing improved collagen deposition, neovascularization, and hair follicle formation.
March 2025 in “Advanced Science” In this study, bioengineered hair germ microspheres made from HME hydrogels promoted hair follicle regeneration in vivo, suggesting a promising approach for hair loss treatment.
