January 2018 in “Open access journal of pharmaceutical research” Biofield Energy Healing may increase hair growth by enhancing cell proliferation.
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.
