May 2019 in “Cells” Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
129 citations,
May 2015 in “Cell Stem Cell” Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
59 citations,
March 2020 in “Journal of Biomedical Science” Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
1 citations,

March 2020 in “Central European Journal of Biology” The study found that stem cells and neutrophils are important for regenerating hair follicle structures in mice.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
66 citations,
July 2015 in “Journal of Molecular Biology” The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
1 citations,

1 citations,
March 2022 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Aging reduces skin stem cell function, leading to changes like hair loss and slower wound healing.
156 citations,
December 2012 in “Cell Stem Cell” TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
45 citations,
August 2018 in “Stem Cells International” Stem cells, especially from fat tissue and Wharton's jelly, can potentially regenerate hair follicles and treat hair loss, but more research is needed to perfect the treatment.
