in “Stem cell biology and regenerative medicine”
TLDR The book "Hair Follicle Regeneration" discusses the potential of regenerating human hair follicles or activating dormant ones as a possible cure for baldness, and the promising role of new technologies like 3D printing in this field.
The 2008 book "Hair Follicle Regeneration" by Francisco Jimenez and Claire Higgins provided a comprehensive review of cell-based strategies for human hair follicle regeneration. The authors highlighted the unique self-renewal capacity of the human hair follicle, which contains several pools of stem cells involved in self-regeneration and pigmentation. The book discussed the idea of regenerating human hair follicles or activating dormant miniaturized follicles as a potential cure for baldness. However, the authors noted that attempts with human follicles had been less efficient than those with mice. The book was divided into four sections, discussing the strategies used in hair follicle regeneration, the cells and tissue structures involved, therapeutic strategies, and the role of the hair follicle in healing cutaneous wounds. The authors also mentioned the potential of new technologies like 3D printing in this field of research.
