May 2023 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology” The document concludes that using stem cells to regenerate hair follicles could be a promising treatment for hair loss, but there are still challenges to overcome before it can be used clinically.
January 2022 in “Springer eBooks” The document reviews historical studies on hair follicle neogenesis, highlighting the role of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) in dermal condensation and hair follicle development. Key findings include FGF-2's ability to induce dermal condensations, FGF20's role in forming primary and secondary dermal condensations, and FGF9's involvement in hair follicle neogenesis post-wounding. The studies collectively underscore the importance of epithelial-mesenchymal interactions and molecular signaling pathways in hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration.

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.
The review highlights the potential of natural products in treating hair loss by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is crucial for hair follicle development, hair cycle regulation, and hair regeneration. Traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil have limitations, prompting research into natural compounds such as polyphenols, which show promise in promoting hair growth with fewer side effects. Key natural products identified include extracts from Aconitie Ciliare Tuber, Centipeda minima, Ginkgo biloba, Malva verticillata, and Prunus mira, which enhance β-catenin activity and other growth factors in dermal papilla cells. These findings suggest that natural products could offer safer and effective alternatives for hair loss treatment, with future research needed to explore clinical applications and potential combinations with existing drugs.
