dermal macrophages hair follicle regeneration macrophages immune cell hair loss alopecia

TLDR Dermal macrophages might help regrow hair.

The potential of dermal macrophages in inducing hair follicle regeneration is explored in this document. The article suggests that dermal macrophages may have the potential to promote hair follicle regeneration, but further research is required to fully comprehend their potential. Macrophages, a type of immune cell, have the potential to induce hair follicle regeneration, which could lead to new treatments for hair loss and alopecia.
