Human hair can almost fully recover its structure within about 1,000 minutes after being stretched.
November 2023 in “International Journal of Medical Sciences” New regenerative medicine-based therapies for hair loss look promising but need more clinical validation.
October 2023 in “Biomaterials” Nanotechnology could improve hair regrowth but faces challenges like complexity and safety concerns.
July 2023 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in wound healing and tissue regeneration, but can also contribute to tumor growth. They show promise in treating chronic wounds and certain burns, but their full healing mechanisms and potential challenges need further exploration.
May 2023 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” The document concludes that using stem cells to regenerate hair follicles could be a promising treatment for hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome before it can be used clinically.
May 2023 in “Stem Cells International” Different parts of the body's fat tissue have unique cell types and characteristics, which could help treat chronic wounds.
January 2023 in “Biomaterials Science” Certain genes are more active during wound healing in axolotl and Acomys, which could help develop materials that improve human wound healing and regeneration.
January 2023 in “Springer eBooks” Using one's own blood platelets and fat can improve facial and hair appearance without surgery.
January 2022 in “Springer eBooks” Fibroblast growth factors are crucial for hair follicle development and regeneration.
November 2020 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Not getting enough minerals can lead to health problems and shorter lifespans.
