TLDR Adipose-derived stem cells show promise for hair growth but need improvement for clinical use.
The review discussed the potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in hair regeneration, highlighting their use in tissue repair and regeneration. Animal experiments showed that ASC transplantation promoted hair growth, and ASC-conditioned medium (ASC-CM) induced proliferation of hair-compositing cells in vitro. However, their effectiveness in clinical settings was limited. The review suggested that preconditioning ASCs with stimulators like vitamin C, platelet-derived growth factor, hypoxia, and ultraviolet B could enhance their efficacy in hair regeneration. The study emphasized the functional role of ASCs in hair cycle progression and explored both the advantages and disadvantages of their application in hair regeneration.
