October 2012 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” Stem cell treatment can effectively regrow hair.
August 2012 in “Nature Cell Biology” A pathway helps maintain long telomeres in both stem and cancer cells.
May 2012 in “The Journal of Nuclear Medicine” Hair stem cells were tracked in mice using a special imaging technique, showing that it's possible to monitor hair growth this way.
April 2012 in “Annals of Neurosciences” The document concludes that stem cell therapies lack solid proof of effectiveness, except for blood system treatments, and criticizes the ethical issues and commercial exploitation in the field.
January 2012 in “Springer eBooks” The skin has different types of stem cells that can repair and regenerate tissue.
January 2010 in “Seoul National University Open Repository (Seoul National University)” The medium from stem cells in fat tissue may boost hair growth.
December 2009 in “Cancer Research” Over-expression of Sp2 can lead to cancer by preventing proper stem cell differentiation.

The treatment successfully integrated hair follicles into a dermal template, showing new hair growth and blood vessel formation.
January 2006 in “Linchuang pifuke zazhi” Stem cell factor and certain proteins help melanocytes from hair follicles move and attach better, aiding vitiligo repigmentation.
January 2006 in “Yearbook of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
Stem cells play a key role in nonmelanoma skin cancers, with different origins and genetic changes linked to basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
