Hair loss is a common skin disease that causes intense emotional suffering. Hair regeneration in a personalized area is highly desirable for patients with different balding conditions. However, the existing pharmaceutical treatments have difficulty precisely regenerating hair in a desired area. Here, we show a method to precisely control the hair regeneration using customized microneedle arrays (MNAs). The MNA with a customized shape is fast fabricated by a static optical projection lithography process in seconds, which is a 3D printing technology developed by our group. In the mouse model, MNA treatment could induce hair regrowth in a defined area corresponding to the customized shape of MNA. And the regenerated hair promoted by MNAs had improved quality. Cellular and molecular analysis indicated that MNA treatment could recruit macrophages in situ and then initiate the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells, thereby improving hair regeneration. Meanwhile, the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was observed in hair follicles. The expressions of Hgf, Igf 1 and Tnf-α were also upregulated in the treated skin, which may also be beneficial for the MNA-induced hair regeneration. This study provides a strategy to precisely control hair regeneration using customized microneedle arrays by recruiting macrophages in situ, which holds the promise for the personalized treatment of hair loss.© 2023.
