In this small, non-randomized study, researchers reported that injecting hair-follicle-derived stem cells into the scalps of androgenetic alopecia patients improved hair density and caliber compared to a control group, suggesting potential efficacy of this approach; however, larger, randomized studies are needed to confirm these findings.

In this research, an optimized protocol was developed for dissociating human scalp tissue to produce high-quality single-cell suspensions suitable for single-cell RNA sequencing, aimed at studying the transcriptomics of human hair follicles.

This study found that sebaceous glands in bald scalp have greater androgen binding affinity and capacity than those in hairy scalp, possibly contributing to the androgenic response seen in male pattern baldness.

This study found that plucked hair follicles can serve as a practical and scalable source for regenerative medicine, as researchers successfully isolated and expanded keratinocytes and mesenchymal stem cells for potential cell-based and cell-free therapies, demonstrating significant wound-healing bioactivity in vitro.

This study found that an enzymatic digestion method for isolating hair follicle stem cells from scalp specimens yielded 5.3 times more epithelial cells than explant cultures, while supporting comparable cell functionality, offering a promising technique for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
