research Maintaining the folliculogenicity of adult cultured epidermal cells May 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” The research shows a potential way to regenerate hair using adult cells that have been grown and guided to produce new hair fibers.
research In vitro mesenchymal–epithelial interaction facilitates de novo hair follicle formation September 2016 in “Journal of dermatological science” Adult skin cells can be used to create new hair in a lab.
research The patch assay reconstitutes mature hair follicles by culture-expanded human cells 11 citations , July 2017 in “Regenerative Medicine” The patch assay can create mature hair follicles from human cells and may help in hair loss treatments.
research Comparative Analysis of Biological Properties of Large-Scale Expanded Adult Neural Crest-Derived Stem Cells Isolated from Human Hair Follicle and Skin Dermis 11 citations , February 2019 in “Stem cells international” Skin-derived stem cells grow faster and are easier to obtain than hair follicle stem cells, but both can become various cell types.
research A preliminary study of differentially expressed genes in expanded skin and normal skin: implications for adult skin regeneration 16 citations , January 2011 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” The study found that expanded skin regenerates similarly to normal skin, with 77 genes playing a role in the process.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia in Research/Science 20 upvotes 8 months ago Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
