July 2019 in “Experimental and Molecular Medicine” This study suggests that the secretome from amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing Nanog could stimulate hair growth and increase follicle density, potentially aiding in alopecia treatment.
October 2025 in “International Wound Journal” In a study using a rat model of hypertrophic scars, researchers found that gamma-irradiated human amniotic fluid improved wound healing, collagen remodelling, immune response, and scar characteristics more effectively than saline or non-irradiated amniotic fluid, indicating its potential for clinical applications in scar management.
September 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, freezing gamma-irradiated amniotic fluid increased hair follicles and accelerated the transition to the anagen stage in rats, suggesting potential for treating hair loss safely and effectively.
