    TLDR Hair follicle stem cells from Arbas Cashmere goats can become fat, nerve, and liver cells.
    This study investigated the differentiation potential of primary and secondary hair follicle stem cells (PHFSCs and SHFSCs) from Arbas Cashmere goats. The researchers isolated and cultured these cells, confirming their high viability and proliferation rates. Both PHFSCs and SHFSCs demonstrated the ability to differentiate into adipocyte-like, neural-like, and hepatocyte-like cells, as evidenced by specific markers and gene expression. These findings suggest that HFSCs from Arbas Cashmere goats possess significant multipotent capabilities, making them promising candidates for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications.

      Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.

      Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
