Researchers at the University of California Riverside (UC Riverside) have identified a single protein that seems to control when hair follicles die. Armed with this new information, it might eventually be possible to reverse the process and stimulate h… Continue reading Scientists identify hair loss regulator protein, could be reversible
Scientists probing the intricate machinery behind hair growth have made a key discovery around the behavior of key cells in follicles. The study uncovers a previously unknown role for a signaling molecule, whose messages were found to be critical to ne… Continue reading Baldness discovery paints molecule as potent stimulator of new hair growth
A new player has entered the hair loss scene promising a new form of treatment that takes a more efficient approach to regenerating lost follicles. Like many solutions in the space, dNovo’s technology uses hair stem cells to replace cells lost through … Continue reading dNovo’s novel baldness treatment takes a direct route to hair regrowth
The role stem cells play in hair loss is one scientists continue to investigate from all kinds of angles, and a new study has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which they influence follicle health. The discovery demonstrates how these cells c… Continue reading Maintaining stem cell stickiness could be the key to battling baldness
Recent advances have put some interesting possibilities on the table when it comes to tackling hair loss, from topical solutions packed with stem cells, to 3D-printed hair farms, to growing hair with a patient’s own cells. Scientists in China are now t… Continue reading Microneedle patch beats baldness by boosting blood flow to the follicles
