Researchers at the San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid may have targeted a potential solution for hair loss.
A recent study analyzed the effect of injecting mice's skin with stem cells from human fat — "adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs)" — as a means of treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), more commonly known as male- or female-pattern hair loss.
The team found that male mice achieved the best hair regrowth after three weeks when they received low-dose ASCs, combined with an energy-boosting molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Low-dose and high-dose ASC treatments along with ATP led to no hair regrowth improvement in females, but medium-dose ASC plus ATP led to greater regrowth.
