Definitions
- Hair follicles are unique to mammalian skin.
- the hair follicle is a down- growth of the primitive epidermis, extending into the deeper layers of the skin.
- a plug of cells known as the follicular or dermal papilla (Stenn and Paus, 2002, Physiol. Rev., 81 :449).
- the papilla is necessary to the normal cycling of the hair follicle, (Oliver, 1966, Embryol. Exp. Morph. 15:331; Oliver, Embryol. Exp. Morph. 16:231) and thus growth of the hair shaft.
- the hair shaft is a thread shaped structure made of tightly coherent epithelial cells filled with keratin filaments and filament aggregating proteins.
- Hair loss is caused by a number of factors. In human male pattern baldness, hair follicles on the front and top of the scalp are susceptible to androgens and undergo, in susceptible individuals, the transformation from a large to a microscopically small follicle, appearing clinically as hair loss. It is estimated that 20% of women will also experience some sort of hair loss in their lifetimes often characterized by a thinning of hair on the top of the scalp. In aging there is a diffuse loss of hair. Further, different disease states, such as the scarring conditions, e.g. associated with the cicatrial alopecias, thermal burns or pressure injuries can result in significant hair loss. The end result of hair loss, regardless of cause, can have significant psychological, social and sexual consequences with a loss of self-esteem and personal confidence.
- hair transplant surgery has been the only viable method to replace active hair follicles to a bald area.
- hair follicles are surgically removed from an area of the scalp which does not undergo balding (occipital area) and transplanted to bald areas (frontal and crown areas).
- the hair grafts range from 1-2 follicles to 10-15 follicles per graft.
- This transplant surgery is very slow and labor intensive. Since it is not uncommon to transplant between 750 and 1500 follicles in one transplant session, the procedure generally requires one complete working day. This procedure is slow and intensive because each donor follicle must be dissected from the donor site before it is implanted.
- papilla cells are immune privileged so that allogeneic transplants are also effective (Reynolds et al., 1999, Nature 402:33).
- inductive papilla cells can be maintained and propagated in cell culture, (Cooley et al., PCT/US98/13754; Kishimoto et al., 2000, Genes. Dev.
- a shaft made of an absorbable material may dissolve at an unpredictable rate, possibly before formation of a nascent hair follicle.
- a biologically active compound such as an absorbable suture material, may provoke an inflammatory immune response at the site of implantation. It has been observed that any inflammatory or foreign body reaction to a biologically active material will impede the formation of new follicles so that any biodegradable material which elicits a foreign body reaction in the vicinity of a regenerating follicle would be counterproductive - ineffective at least and pathological at worst.
- the present invention comprises a method of inducing hair growth in a desired orientation wherein the method comprises contacting an epidermal layer of the skin of a mammal with a vehicle comprising a stiff shaft and at least one papilla cell. The method further comprises securing the vehicle to the epidermal layer in a desired orientation and then removing the vehicle from the epidermal layer after a period of time, thereby inducing hair growth in the desired orientation.
- the mammal is a human.
- the stiff shaft is a tube, a rigid thread, or a rod.
- the papilla cells are autologous or allogeneic.
- the papilla cells are propagated in cell culture.
- the papilla cells are obtained from a human.
- the vehicle is removed after a period of time from about two days to about ten days.
- the vehicle comprises a growth factor.
- the vehicle comprises an eccentrically expressed growth/transcription factor wherein the growth/transcription factor may be a member of the Wnt, sonic hedgehog, Krox-20, homeobox, Notch, transforming growth factor-alpha and insulin-like growth factor families.
- the growth/transcription factor may be a member of the Wnt, sonic hedgehog, Krox-20, homeobox, Notch, transforming growth factor-alpha and insulin-like growth factor families.
- the present invention also comprises a method for inducing hair growth in a desired orientation in a mammal, wherein the method comprises contacting an epidermal layer of the skin with a vehicle comprising a stiff shaft wherein the vehicle comprises a growth of growth/transcription factor.
- the method further comprises securing the vehicle to the epidermal layer in a desired orientation and then removing the vehicle from the epidermal layer after a period of time, thereby inducing hair growth in the desired orientation.
- the mammal is a human.
- the stiff shaft is a tube, a rigid thread, or a rod.
- the vehicle is removed after a period of time from about two days to about ten days.
- the vehicle comprises a growth factor.
- the vehicle comprises an eccentrically expressed growth/transcription factor wherein the growth/transcription factor may be a member of the Wnt, sonic hedgehog, Krox-20, homeobox, Notch, transforming growth factor-alpha and insulin-like growth factor families.
- the present invention also includes an apparatus for the packaging and placement of papilla cells wherein a tube comprising papilla cells is sealed to form individual segments of the tube, thereby forming an apparatus for the packaging and placement of papilla cells.
- one or more tubes are interconnected by a flexible device.
- the tube comprises a biologically inert plastic.
- the tube is sealed into segments by heat sealing, chemical sealing, or mechanical means.
- the segments are detached to form a vehicle comprising a stiff shaft and at least one papilla cell.
- Figure 1 depicts the method of implanting a vehicle and papilla cells into the epidermal layer of a mammal to generate a new hair follicle in a cosmetically acceptable orientation.
- Figure 2 depicts a device to facilitate the packaging, insertion, and placement of vehicles and papilla cells.
- the device comprises a plurality of long tubes interconnected by a flexible device and segmented into sections that when detached from the long tube form vehicles for implantation.
- Figure 3 depicts a method of packaging papilla cells in a long tube.
- Figure 4 depicts early hair follicle formation after the implantation of papilla cells.
- the invention includes a novel method for delivering hair inductive papilla cells or growth factors into the superficial skin of a human, resulting in new follicle formation with high success rate of follicle growth and a cosmetically acceptable orientation. This method overcomes the destructive or cannibalization aspect of current- day hair transplant surgery since minimal donor tissue is needed.
- the present invention is based in part on the discovery that human follicular papilla cells can be implanted in or subjacent to the epidermal tissue, resulting in hair follicle formation and subsequent hair growth.
- papilla cells are introduced into or in contact with human skin in conjunction with a removable, biologically inert vehicle capable of inserting papilla cells under or in contact with the epidermal layer of the skin.
- the inert vehicle carries the papilla cells into the dermis and stimulates the downgrowth of the epidermal cells along the vehicle toward the inserted papilla cells. It is known that inductive papilla cells attract epidermal cells toward them (Arase et al., 2001, J. Dermatol.
- the vehicle is inserted into or in contact with the skin through the epithelial layer in an orientation found to be cosmetically acceptable.
- the papilla cells and vehicle are secured to the skin and left in the insertion site to facilitate the formation of an epithelial cell column that grows down and around the insert and will eventually form the hair follicle.
- the vehicle may be treated or coated with a growth factor or a transcription factor, or a construct expressing these factors, to facilitate hair follicle formation and hair growth.
- the vehicle is removed from the epidermal layer after a prescribed period of time.
- the present invention also relates in part to the discovery that the formation or regeneration of a hair follicle can be induced by contacting the epidermal tissue with certain growth factors in the absence of added papilla cells.
- a removable, biologically inert vehicle capable of contacting the epidermal layer is inserted into the skin.
- the vehicle is inserted into the epithelial layer in an orientation found to be cosmetically acceptable and secured to the skin and left in the insertion site to facilitate the formation of an epithelial cell column that will eventually form the hair follicle.
- the vehicle may be treated or coated with a growth factor or a transcription factor, or a construct expressing these factors, to facilitate hair follicle formation and hair growth.
- the vehicle is removed from the epidermal layer after a prescribed period of time.
- the present invention also includes a novel device to facilitate the packaging, insertion, and placement of vehicles in the epithelial layer of skin with or without papilla cells.
- a vehicle which may or may not comprise papilla cells and may or may not comprise a growth or transcription factor, but does comprise at least one of these components, is attached to other vehicles through an interconnecting device.
- the vehicles may be longer than what is needed to be inserted into the skin, and therefore may be segmented to create shorter individual vehicles out of one or more long vehicles.
- the segmented vehicles may be separated before insertion by simply cutting or snapping them apart.
- the present invention thus relates to a method of inducing hair growth in a desired orientation in a mammal.
- the method is useful in regenerating hair growth in persons with alopecia, especially male and female pattern baldness, and those who have hair loss due to scarring (such as scar resulting from burns, trauma, radiation injury, chemotherapy, pressure, etc.). Although this method would be applied most often to scalp skin, it is applicable to hair growth on any skin surface over the complete body (e.g. eyelids, eyebrows, beard, inguinal area, etc.).
- papilla cells for implantation are derived from hair-growing scalp biopsies.
- papilla cells for implantation are obtained from follicle-containing skin grafts.
- papilla cells for implantation are derived from a primary cell culture.
- papilla cells for implantation are derived from a propagated cell culture.
- the papilla cell culture is maintained in the presence of feeder cells and/or papilla cell growth factors.
- the conditions and requirements for the maintenance and propagation of inductive papilla cell cultures are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art (Kishimoto et al., 2000, Genes. Dev. 14:1181; Cooley et al., PCT/US98/13754).

- the inside diameter of the tube is from about 0.01 mm to about 3.0 mm.
- the plastic tube comprises, but is not limited to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, TEFLON, and polycarbonate.
- the vehicle is shaped to closely resemble the shape of existing or desired hair follicles. This includes, but is not limited to, modifying the cross-sectional profile of the vehicle to a desired shape, placing bends, curves, or coils in the vehicle, or altering the diameter of the vehicle.
- a tube is segmented and separated to form shorter tubes to serve as vehicles for insertion into the skin ( Figure 2).
- the vehicle is a portion of a tube comprising papilla cells that is segmented into sealed compartments.
- the tube is sealed by methods including, but not limited to heat sealing, chemical sealing (e.g. epoxies and glues), and sealing by a mechanical means (e.g. a clamp, crimping, or wire tie).

- the vehicle comprises growth or transcription factors as a protein or nucleic acid construct either with or without papilla cells. Methods of making a vehicle comprising growth or transcription factors are described herein.
- the vehicle is placed in contact with the epidermal cells of the skin to facilitate the growth and "walling-off ' of the vehicle by the downgrowing adjacent epidermis, as epidermis reacts to an inert foreign body by attempting to wall it off from the surrounding tissues (Clark et al., 1988, Mol.
