Genetically modified stem cells from human hair follicles can lower blood sugar and increase survival in diabetic mice.
research 3D Bioprinting of a Gelatin-Alginate Hydrogel for Tissue-Engineered Hair Follicle Regeneration
The new 3D bioprinting method successfully regenerated hair follicles and shows promise for treating hair loss.
research Corrigendum to '3D Bioprinting of a Gelatin-Alginate Hydrogel for Tissue-Engineered Hair Follicle Regeneration'
Corrections were made to a previous work on 3D printing a gel-alginate mix for creating hair follicles, but the main finding - that this method can help grow hair - remains the same.

5 / 61 resultscommunity Say this new supposed miracle drug “PP405” does actually cure baldness, how will that affect people with hair transplants?
PP405 may reactivate dormant hair follicles but won't replace hair transplants or resurrect dead follicles. Its effectiveness, cost, and impact compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are uncertain.
community Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently
A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
community Verteporfin update - donor hair regeneration human trial
A human trial of verteporfin, a potential treatment for hair loss, with some users noting potential improvements in scarring and overall healing compared to control areas.
community Realistically, how much PP405 will cost?
PP405 is in phase 2 trials for hair loss, with discussions on its cost and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Users are skeptical about its efficacy and timeline, with hopes for market release by 2027.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
