    Singularized HDPC response to culture in egg crate-designed microwell arrays fabricated from different non-adherent substrate materials. Stereolithography 3D printed stamps with an egg crate microwell pattern were used to mold 2% agarose ( A ), 5% agarose ( B ), and PDMS ( C ) substrate materials. HDPCs at 3000 cells per microwell were added to the arrays, cultured for 24 h, and imaged using light microscopy. The softer 2% and 5% agarose hydrogel substrate materials did not result in spheroid formation but did effectively pattern the singularized HDPCs. The stiffer silicone elastomer PDMS microwell arrays did result in HDPC spheroid formation and patterning when seeded with singularized HDPCs. Scale bars = 200 µm.

    Distance between HDPC spheroids over time. Quantification of the distance of patterned HDPC spheroids formed in PDMS microwell arrays (1 d), transferred to the collagen matrix dermal compartment (3 d), cultured in epidermalization media (5 d), and transitioned to the air–liquid interface. The average distance of patterned spheroids decreases as the collagen matrix contracts and is reorganized by HDPCs. Scale bars = 200 µm. Note that the 1 d image on the top left is the same image shown in C. Significance comparing microwell spheroid distance at 1 day to later timepoints is denoted at statistical levels: *** p < 0.001.

    Article Snippet: Hair follicles are multi-compartmented small organs that growth cycle goes through anagen, catagen, and telogen phase.. The dermal portion of the hair follicle can be divided into two compartments, the dermal papilla and dermal sheath (Paus and Cotsarelis, 1999).. Human Dermal Papilla Cells (hDPCs) and Human Outer Root Sheath Cells (hORSCs) are considered key cells particularly involved in skin development and hair growth and maintenance (Rajendran et al., 2022).

    PDLLA filler restores dermal papilla cell proliferation and promotes HMK proliferation in the hair matrix, as well as hair shaft keratin formation, in vivo. ( A ) Schematic illustration indicating the dermal papilla region within the hair follicle, where DPCs are densely localized and were analyzed for proliferation. Darker shaded areas indicate analyzed regions (dermal papilla). ( B ) Representative immunofluorescence images showing PCNA (green) expression in the dermal papilla region of hair follicles from saline- and PDLLA filler-treated mice. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Dashed boxes indicate the dermal papilla region, shown at higher magnification in the bottom panels. Proliferating cells were quantified by counting PCNA-positive nuclei-colocalized with DAPI within defined regions of interest. Scale bar = 100 μm. ( C ) Quantification of PCNA-positive cells in the dermal papilla of each hair follicle, expressed as the number of PCNA-positive cells per dermal papilla. ( D ) IGF-1 protein levels in whole skin tissue, measured by ELISA and expressed as fold change relative to the saline-treated control group. ( E ) Schematic illustration indicating hair matrix regions analyzed for HMK proliferation. Darker shaded areas represented the analyzed regions (hair matrix). ( F ) Representative immunofluorescence images showing PCNA expression (green) in the hair matrix region of hair follicles from saline- and PDLLA filler-treated mice. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Dashed boxes indicate the hair matrix region, shown at higher magnification in the bottom panels. Quantification was performed by counting PCNA-positive nuclei co-localized with DAPI within standardized regions of interest. Scale bar = 100 μm.

Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar = 100 μm. ( J , K ) Quantitative analysis of K35-positive ( J ) and K85-positive ( K ) fluorescence intensity within the hair shaft cortex region, expressed as fold change relative to the saline-treated control group.
