TLDR Dermal sheath cells can help grow new hair follicles and show promise in treating hair loss.

The document discusses the role of dermal sheath (DS) cells in hair follicle regeneration. DS cells have the ability to induce the growth of new hair follicles and recent studies have identified hair follicle dermal stem cells in the DS. Clinical studies on male and female pattern hair loss using DS cells have shown promising results in terms of safety and efficacy. However, further research is needed to understand the characteristics of human DS cells and their potential for hair follicle regeneration in humans.
