    TLDR Regenerative medicine may help reduce radiotherapy side effects like skin cancer, fibrosis, pain, and hair loss.
    The 2021 document explored the potential of regenerative medicine in reducing the side effects of radiotherapy, including skin cancer, fibrosis, neuropathic pain, and hair loss. It emphasized the use of stem cell therapies for wound healing, fibrosis, neuropathic pain, and hair loss. The paper also discussed the application of three-dimensional bioprinting for breast structure regeneration and the potential of topical Zinc-Thymulin in treating androgenetic alopecia. Additionally, it examined the radioprotective effects of flavonoids on brain damage and the potential of polyphenols in targeting cancer stem cells. However, the document did not provide the number of participants involved in the studies it cited.

      HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hair follicles through follicle banking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hair follicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.
