Hair-regrowth molecule could bypass stem cell treatments for baldness

Reliably regrowing hair is one of those advances that’s proving trickier than you might imagine, but scientists have plenty of leads to follow. Now, researchers from North Carolina State University have identified a particular microRNA molecule that ap… Continue reading Hair-regrowth molecule could bypass stem cell treatments for baldness

Stem cell topical solution for baldness offers positive trial results

South Korean researchers have shown a stem-cell-based topical solution can regrow hair in both male and female subjects with common pattern baldness. The small, randomized, placebo-controlled trial found the treatment both safe and effective, with larg… Continue reading Stem cell topical solution for baldness offers positive trial results

Outside of expensive transplants and drugs with questionable effectiveness, a proper treatment has continued to elude the great number of scientists working in the realm of hair loss. But sources of optimism are never far away, the latest com… Continue reading Advance in bulk hair-regrowth technology keeps follicles coming thicker and faster

Baldness discovery sees hair breaking through the skin of hairless mice

There are quite a few ways in which humans may one day be able to regrow hair, and an avenue that keeps promising to deliver is through induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs. Scientists have again uncovered new possibilities in this area, … Continue reading Baldness discovery sees hair breaking through the skin of hairless mice

Baldness breakthrough uses 3D-printed "hair farms" to grow new hair follicles

An exciting breakthrough from Columbia University researchers demonstrates a new way to grow human hair follicles using novel 3D printed molds. This is the first time human hair follicle cells have been grown completely in lab conditions, ope… Continue reading Baldness breakthrough uses 3D-printed "hair farms" to grow new hair follicles
