January 2024 in “Journal of tissue engineering” Sunlight exposure damages hair follicles, but certain stem cell-derived particles can reduce this damage and help with hair regeneration.
The study investigated the effects of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) compared to conventional minoxidil treatment on androgenic alopecia (AGA) in 48 adult male albino rats. Results showed that stem cell therapy was more effective than minoxidil in treating AGA, as evidenced by changes in hair follicle dynamics, including a decrease in terminal hair number and an increase in vellus hair. Additionally, there were structural changes such as cavitations in hair and sheaths, collagen fiber deposition, and thinning of the arrector pili muscle. Overall, stem cell therapy demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting hair growth in AGA.
