May 2026 in “Journal of Tissue Engineering” The study presents a novel cell-free therapy for alopecia using the secretome of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived dermal papilla cells (hiPSC-DPCs). The conditioned medium (CM) from these cells was shown to significantly enhance hair regrowth and outperform minoxidil in promoting hair-shaft elongation and cell proliferation. The secretome is enriched with growth factors and metabolites that provide anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective benefits, and it effectively mitigates dihydrotestosterone-induced pathology by suppressing androgen receptor activity. These results suggest that hiPSC-DPC CM could serve as a promising regenerative and anti-androgenic treatment for alopecia.
