    TLDR Low-frequency electromagnetic fields help regenerate hair follicles using a mix of skin cells.
    A study injected a mixture of epidermal stem cells and dermal papilla cells into nude mice and exposed them to low-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF) for 7 or 14 days. The results showed that the injection of the mixture in combination with EMF exposure facilitated the induction of hair follicle regeneration and a bioengineered skin formation with hair follicle-like structures. The study suggests that low-frequency EMF could be a potential non-invasive method for hair loss treatment.
