September 2007 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study found that bioengineered hair follicles work when using cells from the same species but have issues when combining human and mouse cells.
2 citations,
July 2020 in “Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine” Low-frequency electromagnetic fields help regenerate hair follicles using a mix of skin cells.
December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal” Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
2 citations,
March 2013 in “Hair transplant forum international” Research on "hair cloning" for hair loss shows potential for hair thickening but has not yet achieved new hair growth in humans.
4 citations,
August 2023 in “Nature Communications” Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.

December 2009 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” Dermal cells are key in controlling hair growth and could potentially be used in hair loss treatments, but more research is needed to improve hair regeneration methods.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
