February 2004 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” In this study, researchers achieved complete reepithelialization and hair growth on a burn-injured scalp using a tissue-engineered dermal template with early micrograft hair follicle implantation.
This article reviews surgical techniques for addressing scalp defects and highlights hair restoration as a cosmetic improvement strategy, but it reports no new clinical results.
In this study, researchers used two dermal papilla spheroid models to investigate hair cycle regression mechanisms and found that the vascular system enhances tissue physiology and gene modulation, while Retinol-based treatments can partially recover tissue degeneration observed over an extended culture period.
June 2023 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” This review describes bioengineering strategies to mimic the natural cell microenvironment in vitro, emphasizing the novel approach of using cell-synthesized extracellular matrix as a scaffold for engineering functional 3D tissues, while highlighting the limitations of exogenous scaffolds in tissue engineering.
