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.
