May 2015 in “International Journal of Scientific Reports” The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of neonatal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) mesotherapy in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 40 patients with AGA grades 2 to 7. After four monthly sessions, 70% of patients showed mild improvement, 25% showed moderate improvement, and one patient showed a 72% improvement in hair growth and reduction in hair loss. No major adverse events were reported. The study concluded that while the results were promising, larger randomized controlled studies with longer follow-ups were needed to establish MSC therapy as a novel treatment option for AGA.

November 2022 in “Journal of Nanobiotechnology” This study developed a scalable and high-throughput method for producing an injectable composite system combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP), cell-laden microcarriers, and hydrogels for hair follicle (HF) tissue engineering. The system, tested both in vitro and in vivo, significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell (DPC) proliferation, migration, and HF regeneration. In vivo experiments on mice showed that PRP-loaded microcarriers accelerated hair cycle transition and increased new hair follicle formation, with ~35 HFs and ~12 vessels per site. The findings suggest that this composite system could be a promising approach for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth through sustained release of growth factors and a conducive microenvironment.
