    Studysummary This study established a pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with androgenetic alopecia, which can potentially be used to study the disease's pathological mechanisms.

    The paper describes the creation of an integration-free human induced pluripotent stem cell line, MUSIi010-A, from scalp fibroblasts of a male patient with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The iPSC line was verified to be pluripotent and free of SeV vectors, and can be used for studying pathological mechanisms of AGA. The creation of this cell line also demonstrated the feasibility of generating cells of hair follicles, which could be a novel cell source for developing cell-based treatments for the disease.
