TLDR Stem Cell Educator therapy helps regrow hair and improve life quality in alopecia areata patients.
The study from April 20, 2015, evaluated the efficacy of Stem Cell Educator therapy in 9 alopecia areata (AA) patients, showing significant hair regrowth and improved quality of life. The therapy involved circulating patients' blood through a system exposing mononuclear cells to cord blood-derived stem cells (CB-SC) before returning them to the patients. Results indicated balanced cytokine production and a protective TGF-β1 ring around hair follicles, suggesting immune modulation. The study concluded that the therapy was safe and effective, with lasting hair regrowth observed in most participants.
