Cellular Therapy with Human Autologous Adipose-Derived Adult Cells of Stromal Vascular Fraction for Alopecia Areata

In a 2018 study, 20 patients with alopecia areata were treated with autologous adipose-derived stromal vascular cells (ADSVCs). The treatment led to significant improvements in hair growth, with hair density increasing from 85.1 to 121.1 hair/cm², hair diameter from 60.5 to 80.8μ, and pull-test values decreasing from 4.4 to 0.8, all with P<0.0001. Nineteen out of 20 patients showed improvement, and the treatment was deemed safe and effective. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical standards and all patients provided informed consent. The research was funded by one of the authors and the results are included in the published article and its supplementary files.
