rSKPs repopulate the hair follicle (HF) mesenchyme after either bioreactor or static culture. (A): Representative images of endogenous HFs containing transplanted GFP⁺ rSKPs (green) from static and bioreactor grown rSKPs. Skin sections were immunostained for versican (red). (B): Percentage of GFP⁺ HFs. (C): Percentage of GFP⁺ dermal papilla HFs between static and bioreactor culture conditions. Scale bars = 100 μm. Two‐tailed t test, p = ns. Error bars represent SEM of three independent experiments. Abbreviations: DP, dermal papilla; GFP⁺, green fluorescent protein positive; ns, not significant; rSKP, rat skin‐derived precursor.
