    TLDR Transplanted hair follicles show significant changes after FUE, needing more research.
    The study evaluated morphological and histological changes in transplanted hair follicles after Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in 15 patients with androgenetic alopecia over 10-14 months. Significant differences were found between donor and recipient sites, including sebaceous gland degeneration (p=0.002) and arrector pili muscle degeneration (p=0.002). Outer and inner root sheath degeneration also showed substantial variation (p<0.001). The findings highlight the noticeable impact of the FUE procedure on transplanted follicles, suggesting the need for further long-term interest and research.

      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
