    TLDR The document concludes that understanding adult stem cells and their environments can help improve skin regeneration in the future.
    The document reviews hair follicle morphogenesis during embryonic development, adult homeostasis, and regeneration, emphasizing the crucial role of Wnt/β-catenin and ectodysplasin (Eda)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling. It discusses the three-phase cycle of adult hair follicles (anagen, catagen, and telogen) and the key role of the dermal papilla (DP) in these phases. The document also explores the limited regeneration capacity of mammals, focusing on wound-induced hair neogenesis in mouse models, which shares the same signaling as embryonic development. It discusses the potential of hair follicle organoids, made with mouse and human-derived induced pluripotent stem cells, to mimic actual hair follicle development, but notes they lack other cell populations. The document concludes that a better understanding of adult stem cells and niches will aid future skin regeneration.

      Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.

      A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.
