Certain natural products may help stimulate hair growth by affecting stem cell activity in the scalp.
Researchers improved mouse skin cell culture methods and created a similar immortal cell line, but need to clarify their methods and benefits.
January 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
