    Hair follicle morphogenesis during embryonic development is driven by the formation of hair follicle germs (HFGs) via interactions between epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Bioengineered HFGs are potential tissue grafts for hair regenerative medicine because they can replicate interactions and hair follicle morphogenesis after transplantation. However, a mass preparation approach for HFGs is necessary for clinical applications, given that thousands of de novo hair follicles are required to improve the appearance of a single patient with alopecia. In this study, we developed a microfluidics-based approach for the large-scale preparation of HFGs. A simple flow-focusing microfluidic device allowed collagen solutions containing epithelial and mesenchymal cells to flow and generate collagen microbeads with distinct Janus structures. During the 3 days of culture, the collagen beads contracted owing to cellular traction forces, resulting in collagen- and cell-dense HFGs. The transplantation of HFGs into nude mice resulted in highly efficient de novo hair follicle regeneration. This method provides a scalable and robust tissue graft preparation approach for hair regeneration.

    Hair regenerative medicine is a promising approach to treat hair loss. The replication of in vivo tissue con-figurations and microenvironments, such as hair follicle germs, has been studied to prepare tissue grafts for hair regenerative medicine. However, such approaches should be scalable, because a single patient with alopecia requires thousands of tissue grafts. In this paper, we propose an approach for the scalable and automated preparation of highly hair-inductive tissue grafts using a bioprinter. Two collagen droplets (2 & mu;L each) containing mesenchymal and epithelial cells were placed adjacent to each other to fabricate hair-follicle-germ-like grafts. During three days of culture, the pairs of microgel beads were spontaneously contracted by cell traction forces, whereas the two cell types remained separated, where the densities of the cells and collagen were enriched more than 10 times. This approach allowed us to fabricate submil-limeter objects printed with millimeter-order accuracy, facilitating scalable and automated tissue graft preparation. Because of mesenchymal-epithelial interactions, hair microgels (HMGs, i.e., collagen-and cell-enriched microgels) efficiently regenerate hair follicles and shafts when transplanted into the back skin of mice. However, the generated hair shafts mostly remain under the skin. Therefore, we printed microgel beads onto surgical suture guides arrayed on a stage. The microgel beads were contracted along with the suture guides in culture prior to transplantation. The guide-inserted HMGs significantly im-proved hair-shaft sprouting through the skin, owing to the control of the orientation of the HMGs trans-planted into the skin. This approach is a promising strategy to advance hair regenerative medicine.Statement of significance This study proposes an approach for the scalable and automated preparation of highly hair-inductive grafts using a bioprinter.
