TLDR Hair follicle stem cells can become neural cells using different methods, with varying efficiency.
The study compared three different neural induction protocols to differentiate CD34+ stem cell populations from hair follicles into neural cells in vitro. All three protocols were effective, but they varied in efficiency and characteristics of the neural differentiation process. This research highlighted the potential of hair follicle-derived CD34+ stem cells in neural regeneration and provided insights into optimizing neural induction methods for therapeutic applications.
