61 citations,
June 2014 in “Scientific Reports” Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
9 citations,
June 2008 in “Springer eBooks” Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
New treatments for hair loss show promise, including plasma, stem cells, and hair-stimulating complexes, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
