This review discusses the role of hair follicle stem cell metabolism, ageing, and microenvironment in hair growth disorders and compiles recent research on using stem cell-based regenerative medicine for treating alopecia, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that quiescent mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed reduced glycolysis but increased TCA cycle flux and mitochondrial respiration, with these changes linked to metabolic reprogramming involving yes-associated protein inhibition and malate cycle modulation, which supports extracellular matrix protein synthesis.

This study found that glycolytic metabolism and lactate production are crucial for hair follicle stem cell activation, and manipulating these processes can stimulate the hair cycle.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human scalp hair follicles caused metabolic stress that halted cell proliferation and disrupted key signaling pathways, with these effects partially reversed by an integrated stress response inhibitor.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that metabolism actively influences stem cell fate in intestinal and hair follicle stem cells, rather than being a mere environmental byproduct.
