January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
November 2015 in “Hair transplant forum international” Early attempts at using cloned cells for hair transplants failed, but 3D cell growth showed some promise.
February 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Exosomes from skin cells can boost hair growth by stimulating a gene called LEF1.
January 2022 in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine” The document concludes that hair follicle regeneration involves various factors like stem cells, noncoding dsRNA, lymphatic vessels, growth factors, minoxidil, exosomes, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
