Stem-cell hair transplants could potentially create thousands of grafts from a single donor graft, offering a solution for hair loss with DHT-resistant hair. Companies like Stemson Therapeutics and OrganTech are working on this technology, which may become available in the future, possibly reducing the cost and making it widely accessible.
A US federal judge ruled that using patients' stem cells for medical treatments is not under FDA jurisdiction, potentially speeding up development of stemcell-based hair loss therapies.
