May 2026 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” Hair follicle organoids (HFOs) are emerging as valuable in vitro models that mimic the structure and function of native hair follicles, offering new insights into hair biology and disorders. This review discusses the construction of HFOs, emphasizing the importance of epithelial–mesenchymal interactions and comparing various generation strategies, such as primary cell-based co-culture systems and iPSC-derived methods. HFOs have applications in disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine, but face challenges like large-scale cultivation and standardization. Future advancements in biomaterials and bioengineering are anticipated to improve their physiological relevance and clinical translation potential.

January 2026 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This review highlights the challenges in developing effective therapies for alopecia due to a disconnect between mechanistic discoveries and the physiological relevance of preclinical models. It examines the pathogenic mechanisms of major hair loss disorders and evaluates experimental models like transgenic mice and xenografts. While these models have provided insights into androgen signaling, immune privilege collapse, and follicular cytotoxicity, they fall short in replicating the chronicity and complexity of human disease. The review calls for a shift towards integrated, human-relevant systems, such as immune-competent organoids and engineered tissue platforms, to enhance translational research and develop next-generation models.
