April 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study observed that earlier-passage keratinocyte cultures led to superior hair follicle neogenesis in dermal-epidermal composites grafted onto immunodeficient mice, suggesting their potential utility in studying human hair follicle development.
October 2022 in “Regenerative Biomaterials” This study demonstrated that fibrin hydrogels support skin-derived precursors in hair follicle neogenesis in mice, with new hair growth and regeneration of blood vessels and sebaceous glands observed.
