Use of Urinary Bladder Matrix, a Bioactive, Acellular Scaffold, in Transplant Donor Scars and Androgenetic Alopecia: Initial Clinical Experience

The document reports on a series of case studies that used urinary bladder matrix (UBM) to facilitate hair regrowth in both donor scar areas and in areas of hair loss in both men and women. The results suggest that UBM technology is a useful tool in restoration therapy in men and women with androgenetic hair loss. The study found that UBM stimulated more follicles to grow than merely the one that was transplanted, suggesting that UBM may facilitate hair regrowth in androgenetic hair loss. Although more studies are necessary to further understand the role of UBM in folliculogenesis, the initial results are promising.
