A new method was developed to gently isolate hair pigment while keeping its structure intact.
June 1967 in “Journal of Cellular Physiology” The 3D hair follicle model improves understanding of hair growth and drug testing.
April 2023 in “ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering” 3D scaffolds mimicking the extracellular matrix are crucial for effective hair follicle regeneration.
November 2022 in “Annals of Translational Medicine” Immune activities and specific genes are important in male pattern baldness.
January 2022 in “Biomedical Reports” Inaudible sound at 30 kHz can boost hair growth and decrease hair loss by promoting cell growth and reducing cell death in hair follicles.
May 2020 in “Archives of Medical Science” Men with androgenetic alopecia have lower levels of certain proteins and more cell damage.
January 2020 in “Journal of Genetics and Gene Therapy” The combination of hair follicle stem cells and PRP shows promise for treating hair loss in Asian men and women.
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.
