In this study, researchers found that while both hair follicles and skin dermis-derived neural crest stem cells are suitable for large-scale manufacturing, skin dermis cells grow faster and are easier to obtain.
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
