May 2012 in “The Journal of Nuclear Medicine” Hair stem cells were tracked in mice using a special imaging technique, showing that it's possible to monitor hair growth this way.
April 2012 in “Annals of Neurosciences” The document concludes that stem cell therapies lack solid proof of effectiveness, except for blood system treatments, and criticizes the ethical issues and commercial exploitation in the field.
January 2012 in “Springer eBooks” The skin has different types of stem cells that can repair and regenerate tissue.
August 2009 in “Mechanisms of Development” Adult hair follicle cells can create new hair follicles from corneal cells with the right support.
July 2007 in “Cancer biology & therapy” Removing a key gene in mice leads to premature aging and loss of stem cells.
The treatment successfully integrated hair follicles into a dermal template, showing new hair growth and blood vessel formation.
January 2006 in “Yearbook of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” Hair graying is caused by the loss of pigment cells due to poor maintenance of stem cells in the hair follicle.
April 2023 in “Chinese Medical Journal” Human hair follicle stem cells help repair tendon injuries.
Stem cell treatments show promise for hair loss but need more research.
December 2022 in “Nature Communications” Bead-jet printing of stem cells improves muscle and hair regeneration.

January 2020 in “Journal of Genetics and Gene Therapy” The combination of hair follicle stem cells and PRP shows promise for treating hair loss in Asian men and women.
June 2019 in “Stem Cell Research” Scientists created MUSIi010-A, a stem cell line from a balding man's scalp, to study hair loss and develop potential treatments.
January 2019 in “Journal of Clinical Dermatology” The hair tonic improved hair growth and thickness without severe side effects.
October 2017 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Stem cells preservation in AGA could be a potential therapy, but more cases needed.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Stem cells can create hair follicles, potentially treating permanent hair loss, and healthy skin and hair depend on mitochondrial function and special fats.
April 2013 in “Dermatology and therapy” Crescina treatment improves hair resistance and reduces hair loss.
