July 2016 in “Dermatologic surgery” November 2024 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” The study investigates the effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) on hair growth in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) model mice. Intradermal transplantation of hUCMSCs in these mice resulted in increased hair growth, hair follicle density, skin thickness, and activation of the anagen phase, while reducing apoptosis in dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and promoting hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) proliferation. The mechanism involves the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in DPCs, which is crucial for hair regeneration. Blocking β-catenin degradation led to increased DPC apoptosis and reduced HFSC proliferation, highlighting the importance of this pathway in the therapeutic effects of hUCMSCs on AGA.
November 2024 in “BMC Surgery” The document discusses the rising incidence of male androgenetic alopecia and highlights the growing acceptance of follicular unit extraction (FUE) as a suitable treatment method.
