Advances in Hair Loss Treatment and the Use of Stem Cells

Abstract Hair follicle regeneration is vital to treat those suffering from alopecia. To accomplish this, various markers can be used to determine the causes of alopecia and subsequent treatment methods—these range from diagnostic, prognostic, and molecular markers to forms of histopathological examination. Through the insight these methods provide, treatment for hair regrowth can be provided. A key form of treatment is through stem cell therapy. Multiple types of stem cells can be used to promote hair growth through various methods. In tandem with the markers, as mentioned earlier, several clinical trials and case reports have shown successful hair regrowth rates. Though some challenges still exist in the realm of compatibility as well as widespread implementation, further research can push these treatment methods to become an adequate answer to alopecia.
