May 2021 in “F1000Research” This case series treated three male patients with androgenic alopecia using a combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The treatment involved scalp injections and resulted in denser, thicker hair growth and minimal hair loss after 1-3 months. The study concluded that SVFs' multipotent properties and growth factor secretion enhanced hair growth cycles, suggesting this combination therapy could be a promising treatment for androgenic alopecia and potentially other types of alopecia. Further long-term studies were recommended to confirm these findings.

August 2000 in “Endocrine Reviews” The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
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.

August 2021 in “Cosmoderma” The review concluded that low-dose oral minoxidil (OM) was an effective and well-tolerated treatment for various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia and other forms of alopecia. Dosages ranged from 0.25 mg to 10 mg, with lower doses (<2.5 mg) being more common to minimize side effects. Studies involving up to 435 patients reported significant hair regrowth and high patient satisfaction, with side effects generally being mild and reversible. Despite not being FDA-approved for this use, OM was found to be more convenient, cost-effective, and better tolerated than topical minoxidil, making it a viable alternative for hair loss treatment.
May 2023 in “Experimental Dermatology” The study on male pattern hair loss (MPHL) suggests that the localized miniaturization of hair follicles in the frontal and parietal regions of the scalp may be due to their developmental origins. Frontal scalp follicles, which are more sensitive to androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT), show higher expression of androgen receptors (AR) and 5α-reductase compared to occipital follicles. This difference is potentially rooted in the fact that frontal scalp fibroblasts and bones derive from neural crest cells, while occipital regions are mesoderm-derived. The authors propose that future research using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and direct reprogramming of fibroblasts could further elucidate these developmental differences and their impact on androgen sensitivity, emphasizing the need to specify scalp location in hair follicle research.
