July 2023 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” The sharp implanter method for hair graft placement is simpler and faster, allowing for dense packing of grafts with natural results.
October 2022 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Hair loss due to scarring can be treated by reducing inflammation, removing scar tissue, and transplanting hair. The Follicular Unit Extraction technique is effective but requires skill and time. Future focus should be on scar-less healing methods.
June 2022 in “Scientific Reports” Prevelex, a polyampholyte, can create a cell-repellent coating on microdevices, which can be useful in biomedical applications like hair follicle regeneration.
January 2019 in “Advances in stem cells and their niches” Krox20 is important for cell differentiation in the brain and hair follicles.
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.
Hair follicles supply a crucial brain development protein to the brain via platelets.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” Bioengineered nanoparticles can effectively treat hair loss by targeting specific enzymes and receptors.
