    TLDR The medium from stem cells in fat tissue may boost hair growth.
    The study investigated the effects of the conditioned medium of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on human follicular cells, focusing on hair growth stimulation. ADSCs were known to produce various growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor binding protein precursors, VEGF, hepatocyte growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and keratinocyte growth factor, all of which were associated with promoting hair growth. The research suggested that these factors could potentially enhance hair growth, indicating a beneficial effect of ADSCs on human follicular cells.
