TLDR Adipose-derived stem cells show promise for hair growth but need improvement for clinical use.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) were explored for their potential in hair regeneration, showing promise in animal studies and in vitro experiments where they promoted hair growth and cell proliferation. However, their effectiveness in clinical settings was limited. The study discussed ASC preconditioning as a strategy to improve their efficacy, highlighting methods such as using vitamin C, platelet-derived growth factor, hypoxia, and ultraviolet B as stimulators. The research emphasized the role of ASCs in hair cycle progression and evaluated the pros and cons of their application in hair regeneration.
