Abstract
Modeling organoids with hair follicle germ-like properties provides an opportunity for developing strategies for alopecia drug discovery and replacement therapy, as well as investigating themolecular mechanisms underlying human hair follicle regeneration in vitro. Hair follicle germ reconstruction in vitro is based on dermal papilla hair-inducing abilities and the plasticity of skin epidermal keratinocytes. The current protocol describes a highly efficient approach suitable for adult human skin cell applications. This method allows to obtain hair follicle germs using tissues from one donor. Isolated and cultured for 2weeks, adult hair follicle dermal papilla cells and skin epidermal keratinocytes self-organize in hanging drop cultures generating organoids that exhibit the features of folliculogenesis onset.
