August 2022 in “BMC veterinary research” Hair follicle stem cells from Arbas Cashmere goats can become fat, nerve, and liver cells.
Glycyrrhizic acid and licorice extract can significantly reduce unwanted hair growth.
2 citations,
May 2023 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” Stem cells help remove dead cells to keep tissues healthy by balancing cell replacement and clearance.
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.
