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.
research Tissue Engineering of Human Hair Follicles Using a Biomimetic Developmental Approach
Researchers created human hair follicles using a new method that could help treat hair loss.
research Culture and Characterization of Rat Hair Follicle Stem Cells

5 / 69 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 Story time! The Great Unbalding (PP405)
PP405 is a promising new hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hair follicles without side effects. It could surpass traditional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride if successful in further trials.
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 How is there zero improvement with finding the cure?
Hair loss treatments have not advanced since 2018, with finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 still being the main options. A permanent cure is unlikely due to the profitability of ongoing treatments.
