New stem cell therapy shows ‘promising’ results for treating hair loss in preclinical trials

Androgenetic alopecia treatment led to complete hair regrowth in some mice, research shows

With appropriate doses, the researchers achieved "very high percentages" of hair regrowth, noting that 100% of the male mice and up to 90% of the female mice regrew hair. (Actual mice from the study not pictured.) (iStock)

"Research advances are pointing toward possible solutions that, in the future, may offer long-lasting results without the need for continuous treatment to maintain benefits." (iStock)

Looking ahead to human clinical trials, researchers are "actively working" on confirming safety for men and women between 18 and 50 years old with moderate androgenetic alopecia. (iStock)
