The present invention describes a method for producing de novo papillae comprising the steps of a) providing isolated dermal papilla fibroblasts (DPF) from at least one dermal papilla (DP) from at least one hair follicle, b) providing isolated connective tissue sheath fibroblasts (CTSF) from at least one hair follicle and c) co-culturing the DPF with the CTSF under substantially non-adherent cell culture conditions to form spheroid cell aggregates.

Method for the production of hair follicles and de novo papillae, and use thereof for in vitro tests and in vivo implants

The present invention relates to a method for producing hair microfollicles comprising the steps of: a) providing de novo papillae, b) providing other cell populations selected from the group of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and melanocytes, and co-culturing the de novo papillae with at least one other cell population in non-adherent culture vessels. The present invention relates also to methods of producing de novo papillae usable in said method for producing hair microfollicles.

[object Object]

A self-contained circulation system, which supports the formation of capillaries in capillary growth sections and allows the formation of micro organoids and/or micro tissue sections for monitoring the effect of one or more test compounds and determining efficacy, side-effects, biosafety, metabolites, mode of action or organ regeneration as well as methods of establishing such micro organoids and/or micro tissue in the self-contained circulation system.
