January 2018 in “The Korean Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology” Modified stem cells from umbilical cord blood can make hair grow faster.
November 2024 in “Cells Tissues Organs” Stem cells from umbilical cord blood are more effective than minoxidil for treating hair loss.
The study investigated the effects of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) compared to conventional minoxidil treatment on androgenic alopecia (AGA) in 48 adult male albino rats. Results showed that stem cell therapy was more effective than minoxidil in treating AGA, as evidenced by changes in hair follicle dynamics, including a decrease in terminal hair number and an increase in vellus hair. Additionally, there were structural changes such as cavitations in hair and sheaths, collagen fiber deposition, and thinning of the arrector pili muscle. Overall, stem cell therapy demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting hair growth in AGA.

October 2022 in “Regenerative Therapy” New regenerative treatments for hair loss show promise but need more research for confirmation.
November 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” The study investigates the effects of two commercial products containing exosomes on hair growth and regeneration in human hair follicle cultures. One product uses exosomes and proteins from stem cells derived from the umbilical cord lining, while the other contains exosomes from bovine colostrum, loaded with growth factors and cytokines. Results showed that the bovine colostrum-derived exosomes significantly enhanced hair bulb growth and dermal papilla regeneration compared to the stem cell-derived exosomes, which performed similarly to untreated controls. This suggests that exosomes from bovine colostrum could be effective in slowing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.
