5 citations,
February 2022 in “Frontiers in physiology” Hair graying is influenced by factors like nerves, fat cells, and immune cells, not just hair follicles.
22 citations,
July 2019 in “PLOS ONE” Skin lymphatic vessels are essential for hair growth.
55 citations,
September 2017 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” Platelet-rich plasma, taken from a person's own blood, can help rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
