September 2018 in “Cosmetics” This study found that anisotropic osmolyte solutions may improve hair follicle turnover and condition in both in vitro and in silico models, as well as in human volunteers with hair disorders.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study observed that a 3D culture model of hair follicle cells showed an anagen-like phase between days 3 to 6 and transitioned to a catagen-like phase by day 7, highlighting cell differentiation and structural development over time.

February 2016 in “ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces” This study found that 3D microtissue models of dermal papilla cells can enhance the ability to induce hair-follicle neogenesis in vivo, offering potential for controlled cell production in follicle regeneration.
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.
