Unlocking the Secrets of Hair Follicles with 3D Imaging

For the first time, see a hair follicle in true 3D, from the bulb, where hair growth begins, to the dermal papilla, a vital signaling hub. This cutting-edge imaging also reveals the hair plexus, a dense network of sensory nerve fibers responsible for detecting touch.

Using advanced 3D fluorescence staining, this visualization highlights:

• PGP9.5 (Green): Sensory nerve fibers surrounding the follicle

• TO-PRO-3 (Red): Cell nuclei distribution

This breakthrough in 3D imaging is revolutionizing hair research, enabling scientists to detect subtle structural changes in conditions like alopecia earlier and track treatment responses with precision.

Better imaging leads to better insights—and better treatments.
