Reprogramming of three-dimensional microenvironments for in vitro hair follicle induction

This paper demonstrates the in vitro induction of hair follicles by reprogramming three-dimensional microenvironments through controlled epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, resulting in the formation of hair follicloids with functional hair shafts.

Exposure to unpredictable trips and slips while walking can improve balance recovery responses with minimum predictive gait alterations

This study shows that repeated exposure to unpredictable slips and trips improves balance recovery without requiring predictive gait changes.
