,
January 2020 in “Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology” This study found that mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue and hair follicles have a similar ability to differentiate into neurons, which could aid in developing therapies for neurological diseases.
11 citations
,
October 2021 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” This study reports that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly reduced hair loss and inflammation in alopecia areata models, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach.
9 citations
,
November 2021 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” This study found that PBX1 overexpression reduces hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cell senescence and apoptosis by alleviating ROS-mediated DNA damage, rather than enhancing DNA repair.
7 citations
,
March 2017 in “Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine” This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells effectively maintained human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state, comparable to mouse embryonic fibroblasts under standard conditions.
