Abstract
Hair loss disorder (alopecia) affects numerous people around the world. The low effectiveness and numerous side effects of common treatments have prompted researchers to investigate alternative and effective solutions. Hair follicle (HF) bioengineering is the knowledge of using hair-inductive (trichogenic) cells. Most bioengineering-based approaches focus on regenerating folliculogenesis through manipulation of regulators of physical/molecular properties in the HF niche. Despite the high potential of cell therapy, no cell product has been produced for effective treatment in the field of hair regeneration. This problem shows the challenges in the functionality of cultured human hair cells. To achieve this goal, research and development of new and practical approaches, technologies and biomaterials are needed. Based on recent advances in the field, this review evaluates emerging HF bioengineering strategies and the future prospects for the field of tissue engineering and successful HF regeneration.

Abstract
Skin-on-a-chip (SoC) technologies are emerging as a paradigm shift in dermatology research by replicating human physiology in a dynamic manner not achievable by current animal models. Although animal models have contributed to successful clinical trials, their ability to predict human outcomes remains questionable, owing to inherent differences in skin anatomy and immune response. Covering areas including infectious diseases, autoimmune skin conditions, wound healing, drug toxicity, aging, and antiaging, SoC aims to circumvent the inherent disparities created by traditional models. In this paper, we review current SoC technologies, highlighting their potential as an alternative to animal models for a deeper understanding of complex skin conditions.

Roets B. Potential application of PBM use in hair follicle organoid culture for the treatment of androgenic alopecia. Mater Today Bio 2023; 23:100851. [PMID: 38024838 PMCID: PMC10663892 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Androgenic alopecia is a hereditary condition of pattern hair loss in genetically susceptible individuals. The condition has a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, with decreased self-esteem, body image issues and depression being the main effects. Various conventional treatment options, such as minoxidil, finasteride and herbal supplements, aim to slow down hair loss and promote hair growth. However, due to the chronic nature of the condition the financial cost of treatment for androgenic alopecia is very high and conventional treatment options are not universally effective and come with a host of side effects. Therefore, to address the limitations of current treatment options a novel regenerative treatment option is required. One promising approach is organoids, organoids are 3D cell aggregates with similar structures and functions to a target organ. Hair follicle organoids can be developed in vitro. However, the main challenges are to maintain the cell populations within the organoid in a proliferative and inductive state, as well as to promote the maturation of organoids. Photobiomodulation is a form of light therapy that stimulates endogenous chromophores. PBM has been shown to improve cell viability, proliferation, migration, differentiation and gene expression in dermal papilla cells and hair follicle stem cells. Therefore, photobiomodulation is a potential adjunct to hair follicle organoid culture to improve the proliferation and inductive capacity of cells.

[PMID: 37634889 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.102041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
Aging is a complex natural process that leads to a decline in physiological functions, which is visible in signs such as hair graying, thinning, and loss. Although hair graying is characterized by a loss of pigment in the hair shaft, the underlying mechanism of age-associated hair graying is not fully understood. Hair graying and loss can have a significant impact on an individual's self-esteem and self-confidence, potentially leading to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. Omics technologies, which have applications beyond clinical medicine, have led to the discovery of candidate hair biomarkers and may provide insight into the complex biology of hair aging and identify targets for effective therapies. This review provides an up-to-date overview of recent omics discoveries, including age-associated alterations of proteins and metabolites in the hair shaft and follicle, and highlights the significance of hair aging and graying biomarker discoveries. The decline in hair follicle stem cell activity with aging decreased the regeneration capacity of hair follicles. Cellular senescence, oxidative damage and altered extracellular matrix of hair follicle constituents characterized hair follicle and hair shaft aging and graying. The review attempts to correlate the impact of endogenous and exogenous factors on hair aging. We close by discussing the main challenges and limitations of the field, defining major open questions and offering an outlook for future research.

Abstract
The hair follicle (HF) is a multicellular complex structure of the skin that contains a reservoir of multipotent stem cells. Traditional hair repair methods such as drug therapies, hair transplantation, and stem cell therapy have limitations. Advances in nanotechnology offer new approaches for HF regeneration, including controlled drug release and HF-specific targeting. Until recently, embryogenesis was thought to be the only mechanism for forming hair follicles. However, in recent years, the phenomenon of wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN) or de novo HF regeneration has gained attention as it can occur under certain conditions in wound beds. This review covers HF-specific targeting strategies, with particular emphasis on currently used nanotechnology-based strategies for both hair loss-related diseases and HF regeneration. HF regeneration is discussed in several modalities: modulation of the hair cycle, stimulation of progenitor cells and signaling pathways, tissue engineering, WIHN, and gene therapy. The HF has been identified as an ideal target for nanotechnology-based strategies for hair regeneration. However, some regulatory challenges may delay the development of HF regeneration nanotechnology based-strategies, which will be lastly discussed.

Abstract
Current approaches fail to adequately introduce complex adnexal structures such as hair follicles within tissue engineered models of skin. Here, we report on the use of 3D bioprinting to incorporate these structures in engineered skin tissues. Spheroids, induced by printing dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs), were precisely printed within a pregelled dermal layer containing fibroblasts. The resulting tissue developed hair follicle-like structures upon maturation, supported by migration of keratinocytes and melanocytes, and their morphology and composition grossly mimicked that of the native skin tissue. Reconstructed skin models with increased complexity that better mimic native adnexal structures can have a substantial impact on regenerative medicine as grafts and efficacy models to test the safety of chemical compounds.

Abstract
Hair regenerative medicine must involve practical procedures, such as cryopreservation of tissue grafts. This can aid in evaluating tissue safety and quality, as well as transportation to a clinic and multiple transplants. Hair follicle germs (HFGs), identified during in vivo development, are considered effective tissue grafts for hair regenerative medicine. However, to the best of our knowledge, methods for cryopreserving HFGs have not been explored yet. This study investigated the efficacy of slow vitrification methods for freezing HFGs. Cryoprotectants such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and carboxylated poly-l-lysine were used for vitrification. The results indicate that DMSO vitrification yielded the most efficient de novo hair regeneration in mouse skin, comparable to that of non-cryoprotected HFGs. A microfinger was fabricated to scale up the cryopreservation method, considering that thousands of tissue grafts were required per patient in clinical practice. The microfinger can be used for a series of processes, holding the HFG, replacing it with a cryopreservation solution, freezing it in liquid nitrogen, thawing it in a warm medium, and transplanting it into the skin. Although de novo hair regeneration by HFGs cryopreserved using microfingers was reduced by approximately 20 % compared to those cryopreserved using flat plates for fertilized eggs, it exceeded 50 %. These findings demonstrate that vitrification with DMSO and microfingers could be a useful approach for the cryopreservation of tissue grafts in hair regenerative medicine for hair loss.

Abstract
Pathological hair loss (also known as alopecia) and shortage of hair follicle (HF) donors have posed an urgent requirement for HF regeneration. With the revelation of mechanisms in tissue engineering, the proliferation of HFs in vitro has achieved more promising trust for the treatments of alopecia and other skin impairments. Theoretically, HF organoids have great potential to develop into native HFs and attachments such as sweat glands after transplantation. However, since the rich extracellular matrix (ECM) deficiency, the induction characteristics of skin-derived cells gradually fade away along with their trichogenic capacity after continuous cell passaging in vitro. Therefore, ECM-mimicking support is an essential prelude before HF transplantation is implemented. This review summarizes the status of providing various epidermal and dermal cells with a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold to support the cell homeostasis and better mimic in vivo environments for the sake of HF regeneration. HF-relevant cells including dermal papilla cells (DPCs), hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to be induced to form HF organoids in the vitro culture system. The niche microenvironment simulated by different forms of biomaterial scaffold can offer the cells a network of ordered growth environment to alleviate inductivity loss and promote the expression of functional proteins. The scaffolds often play the role of ECM substrates and bring about epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (EMI) through coculture to ensure the functional preservation of HF cells during in vitro passage. Functional HF organoids can be formed either before or after transplantation into the dermis layer. Here, we review and emphasize the importance of 3D culture in HF regeneration in vitro. Finally, the latest progress in treatment trials and critical analysis of the properties and benefits of different emerging biomaterials for HF regeneration along with the main challenges and prospects of HF regenerative approaches are discussed.

Abstract
Tissue engineering of hair follicles (HFs) has enormous potential in the treatment of hair loss. HF morphogenesis is triggered by reciprocal interactions between HF germ epithelial and mesenchymal layers. Here, a microfluidic-assisted technology is developed for the preparation of double aqueous microdroplets that entrap double-layer cells and growth factors to ultimately be used for hair regeneration. Mouse mesenchymal cells (MSCs) and epidermal cells (EPCs) are encapsulated in gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) cores and photo-curable catechol-grafted hyaluronic acid (HAD) shells to fabricate GelMA-MSC/HAD-EPC (G/HAD) microspheres. The findings show that the G/HAD microspheres exhibit ultrafast gelation, aqueous phase separation, superior biocompatibility, and favorable wet adhesion properties. G/HAD microspheres can also support cell proliferation and sustain growth factor release. These composite cell microspheres are capable of efficient HF generation upon transplantation into the dorsal dermis of nude mice. This finding facilitates the large-scale preparation of approximately 80 double-layer cell spheres per min. This simple double-layer cell sphere preparation approach is a promising strategy for improving current hair-regenerative medicine techniques and can potentially be applied along with other organoid techniques for extended applications.

Abstract
The generation and growing of de novo hair follicles is the most daring hair replacement approach to treat alopecia. This approach has been explored at least since the 1960s without major success. Latest in the 1980s, the realization that the mesenchymal compartment of hair follicles, the dermal papilla (DP), is the crucial signaling center and element required for fulfilling this vision of hair follicle engineering, propelled research into the fibroblasts that occupy the DP. However, working with DP fibroblasts has been stubbornly frustrating. Decades of work in understanding the nature of DP fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo have led to the appreciation that hair follicle biology is complex, and the dermal papilla is an enigma. Functional DP fibroblasts tend to aggregate in 2D culture, while impaired DP cells do not. This fact has stimulated recent approaches to overcome the hurdles to DP cell culture by mimicking their natural habitat, such as growing DP fibroblasts in three dimensions (3D) by their self-aggregation, adopting 3D matrix scaffold, or bioprinting 3D microstructures. Furthermore, including keratinocytes in the mix to form hair follicle-like composite structures has been explored but remains a far cry from a useful and affordable method to generate human hair follicles in sufficient quantity and quality in a practical time frame for patients. This suggests that the current strategies may have reached their limitations in achieving successful hair follicle bioengineering for clinical applications. Novel approaches are required to overcome these barriers, such as focusing on embryonic cell types and processes in combination with emerging techniques.

Abstract
Background Tissue engineering of hair follicles (HFs) has enormous potential for hair loss treatment. However, certain challenges remain, including weakening of the dermal papilla cell (DPC) viability, proliferation, and HF inducibility, as well as the associated inefficient and tedious preparation process required to generate extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking substrates for biomolecules or cells. Herein, we utilized gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and chitosan hydrogels to prepare scalable, monodispersed, and diameter-controllable interpenetrating network GelMA/chitosan-microcarriers (IGMs) loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and seeded with DPCs, on a high-throughput microfluidic chip. Results The ECM-mimicking hydrogels used for IGMs exhibited surface nano-topography and high porosity. Mass production of IGMs with distinct and precise diameters was achieved by adjusting the oil and aqueous phase flow rate ratio. Moreover, IGMs exhibited appropriate swelling and sustained growth factor release to facilitate a relatively long hair growth phase. DPCs seeded on PRP-loaded IGMs exhibited good viability (> 90%), adhesion, spreading, and proliferative properties (1.2-fold greater than control group). Importantly, PRP-loaded IGMs presented a higher hair inducibility of DPCs in vitro compared to the control and IGMs group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, DPC/PRP-laden IGMs were effectively mixed with epidermal cell (EPC)-laden GelMA to form a PRP-loaded DPC/EPC co-cultured hydrogel system (DECHS), which was subcutaneously injected into the hypodermis of nude mice. The PRP-loaded DECHS generated significantly more HFs (~ 35 per site) and novel vessels (~ 12 per site) than the other groups (p < 0.05 for each). Conclusion Taken together, these results illustrate that, based on high-throughput microfluidics, we obtained scalable and controllable production of ECM-mimicking IGMs and DECHS, which simulate an effective micro- and macro-environment to promote DPC bioactivity and hair regeneration, thus representing a potential new strategy for HF tissue engineering.

Abstract
To facilitate the recovery process of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds novel pro-resolving treatment options are urgently needed. We investigated the pro-regenerative properties of soluble CD83 (sCD83) on cutaneous wound healing, where sCD83 accelerated wound healing not only after systemic but also after topical application, which is of high therapeutic interest. Cytokine profile analyses revealed an initial upregulation of inflammatory mediators such as TNFα and IL-1β, followed by a switch towards pro-resolving factors, including YM-1 and IL-10, both expressed by tissue repair macrophages. These cells are known to mediate resolution of inflammation and stimulate wound healing processes by secretion of growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which promote vascularization as well as fibroblast and keratinocyte differentiation. In conclusion, we have found strong wound healing capacities of sCD83 beyond the previously described role in transplantation and autoimmunity. This makes sCD83 a promising candidate for the treatment of chronic- and hard-to-heal wounds.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pattern hair loss is a common disorder in female and male subjects that may benefit from the use of cell-free XoFlo (Direct Biologics, LLC, Austin, TX) therapy.
Objectives
To assess the safety, efficacy and satisfaction of a single extracellular vesicle (EV) treatment over 6 months.
Methods
A retrospective open-label study among 22 female and 9 male subjects who demonstrated early stages of alopecia or were in remission from prior medical and surgical treatments. The amount of undiluted or diluted volumes of EV solution used was determined by extent and degree of alopecia. Global photography, SGAIS and IGAIS questionnaires, and trichoscan measurements were compared at baseline and six months in three response categories.
Results
Frequent growth responses were observed: older aged females and younger aged males, shorter history of alopecia; earlier stages of hair loss; larger and undiluted volumes of XoFlo; prior positive responses to medical and surgical treatments; and absence or control of disease factors affecting hair. The benefit of micro-needling to therapy was indeterminate. Global photography, trichoscan for density, follicle diameter, terminal: vellus ratio, and SGAIS/IGAIS satisfaction questionnaires at baseline and six months were useful in assessing clinical efficacy. No significant adverse reactions were observed.
Conclusions
Intradermal injections with varying doses of EVs were safe and effective among indicated alopecic female and male subjects. Findings suggest that the presence of positive factors, absence of conditions known to negatively affect hair growth, and administration of larger volumes of XoFlo may have a significant influence on the use of this new cell-free therapy. FDA-approved biologic, multi-centered IRB/ Investigational New Drug (IND) trials are clearly required to determine its future in the management of hair loss.

Abstract
Minoxidil is the most widely used treatment for hair growth, but has been associated with several side effects. In this study, we investigated the effects of heat-killed Enterococcus faecalis EF-2001 on hair loss prevention and regrowth using human dermal papilla cells and male C57BL/6 mice. To examine the effects of EF-2001, we used minoxidil as the positive control. In the in vitro experiments, EF-2001 treatment (75-500 μg/mL) led to the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In the in vivo experiment, the topical application of 200 µL EF-2001 on the dorsal surface of C57BL/6 male mice led to hair growth. Changes in hair regrowth were examined by visual comparison and hematoxylin and eosin staining of skin sections. We also determined the expression levels of marker genes (Wnt) and growth factors (fibroblast growth factor, insulin growth factor 1, and vascular endothelial growth factor) in the skin tissues of the back of each mouse using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. EF-2001 accelerated the progression of hair regrowth in mice and promoted hair-follicle conversion from telogen to anagen, likely by increasing the expression levels of growth factors and marker genes.

Acta Biomater 2022:S1742-7061(22)00142-8.

Abstract
Hair follicle (HF) regeneration remains challenging, principally due to the absence of a platform that can successfully generate the microenvironmental cues of hair neogenesis. Here, we demonstrate a 3D bioprinting technique based on a gelatin/alginate hydrogel (GAH) to construct a multilayer composite scaffold simulating the HF microenvironment in vivo. Fibroblasts (FBs), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), dermal papilla cells (DPCs), and epidermal cells (EPCs) were encapsulated in GAH (prepared from a mixture of gelatin and alginate) and respectively 3D-bioprinted into the different layers of a composite scaffold. The bioprinted scaffold with epidermis- and dermis-like structure was subsequently transplanted into full-thickness wounds in nude mice. The multilayer scaffold demonstrated suitable cytocompatibility and increased the proliferation ability of DPCs (1.2-fold; P < 0.05). It also facilitated the formation of self-aggregating DPC spheroids and restored DPC genes associated with hair induction (ALP, β-catenin, and α-SMA). The dermal and epidermal cells self-assembled successfully into immature HFs in vitro. HFs were regenerated in the appropriate orientation in vivo, which can mainly be attributed to the hierarchical grid structure of the scaffold and the dot bioprinting of DPCs. Our 3D printed scaffolds provide a suitable microenvironment for DPCs to regenerate entire HFs and could make a significant contribution in the medical management of hair loss. This method may also have broader applications in skin tissue (and appendage) engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hair loss remains a challenging clinical problem that influences quality of life. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has become a useful tool for the fabrication of tissue constructs for transplantation and other biomedical applications. In this study, we used a 3D bioprinting technique based on a gelatin/alginate hydrogel to construct a multi-layer composite scaffold with cuticular and corium layers to simulate the microenvironment of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in the human body. This new approach permits the controllable formation of self-aggregating spheroids of DPCs in a physiologically relevant extracellular matrix and the initiation of epidermal-mesenchymal interactions, which results in HF formation in vivo. The ability to regenerate entire HFs should have a significant impact on the medical management of hair loss.

Abstract
Alopecia or baldness is a common diagnosis in clinical practice. Alopecia can be scarring or non-scarring, diffuse or patchy. The most prevalent type of alopecia is non-scarring alopecia, with the majority of cases being androgenetic alopecia (AGA) or alopecia areata (AA). AGA is traditionally treated with minoxidil and finasteride, while AA is treated with immune modulators; however, both treatments have significant downsides. These drawbacks compel us to explore regenerative therapies that are relatively devoid of adverse effects. A thorough literature review was conducted to explore the existing proven and experimental regenerative treatment modalities in non-scarring alopecia. Multiple treatment options compelled us to classify them into growth factor-rich and stem cell-rich. The growth factor-rich group included platelet-rich plasma, stem cell-conditioned medium, exosomes and placental extract whereas adult stem cells (adipose-derived stem cell-nano fat and stromal vascular fraction; bone marrow stem cell and hair follicle stem cells) and perinatal stem cells (umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs), Wharton jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs), amniotic fluid-derived MSCs (AF-MSCs), and placental MSCs) were grouped into the stem cell-rich group. Because of its regenerative and proliferative capabilities, MSC lies at the heart of regenerative cellular treatment for hair restoration. A literature review revealed that both adult and perinatal MSCs are successful as a mesotherapy for hair regrowth. However, there is a lack of standardization in terms of preparation, dose, and route of administration. To better understand the source and mode of action of regenerative cellular therapies in hair restoration, we have proposed the "À La Mode Classification". In addition, available evidence-based cellular treatments for hair regrowth have been thoroughly described.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine and the role of stem cells are being studied for applications in nearly every field of medicine. The pluripotent nature of stem cells underlies their vast potential for treatment of androgenic alopecia. Several advances in recent years have heightened interest in this field, chief among them are the evolution of simpler techniques to isolate regenerative elements and stems cells. These techniques are easy, outpatient procedures with immediate injection, often single session with harvest, and minimal manipulation (usually physical). This paper seeks to critically review the existing data and determine the current evidence and their role in practice.

Abstract
To establish the model of whisker hair follicle culture in vitro and explore the best culture conditions, the whisker hair follicles of Angora rabbits were separated with stereomicroscope and cultured in William's E, DMEM, MEM media. The surface of the cultured whisker hair follicles was not damaged due to manual operation, resulting in the hair shaft's growth. This indicated the success of the in vitro whisker hair follicle model. The hair shaft grew at the fastest rate in the William's E culture (p < 0.05), which was significantly higher than that in the DMEM and MEM media. The hematoxylin-eosin results showed that compared to the William's E group, the atrophy of whisker hair follicles in the DMEM and MEM media was evident, especially in the MEM medium. PCNA immunofluorescence staining was employed to detect the expression of whisker hair follicles. The results showed that the PCNA positive expression of the William's E group was significantly stronger than that of the DMEM and MEM groups. Furthermore, CCK-8 and Annexin V-FITC/PI methods were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis of the dermal papilla cells (DPCs). The results of this study provide a model for studying the hair growth of fur animals.

Hair loss remains a challenging clinical problem that influences the quality of life. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has become a valuable tool for fabricating tissue constructs for transplantation and other biomedical applications. Although some simple organs, such as skin and cartilage, have been successfully simulated, it remains challenging to make hair follicles (HFs), which are highly complex organs. The tissue engineering of human HFs has been a long-standing challenge, and progress with this has lagged behind that with other lab-grown tissues. This is principally due to a lack of availability of a platform that can successfully recapitulate the microenvironmental cues required to maintain the requisite cellular interactions for hair neogenesis. In this study, we used a 3D bioprinting technique based on a gelatin/alginate hydrogel to construct a multilayer composite scaffold with cuticular and corium layers to simulate the microenvironment of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) in the human body. This new approach permits the controllable formation of self-aggregating spheroids of DPCs in a physiologically relevant extracellular matrix and the initiation of epidermal-mesenchymal interactions, which results in HF formation in vivo. In conclusion, our 3D-bioprinted multilayer composite scaffold prepared using a gelatin/alginate hydrogel provides a suitable 3D microenvironment for DPCs to induce HF formation. The ability to regenerate entire HFs should have a significant impact on the medical management of hair loss. This method may also have critical applications for skin tissue engineering, with its appendages, for other purposes.

Abstract
Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) tend to aggregate both in vitro and in vivo, which increases the hair inductivity of DPCs. However, the underlying mechanism of spheroid formation is unknown. We investigated whether collagen expression in human DPCs (hDPCs) is involved in the spheroid formation and hair inductivity of hDPCs and further examined the underlying molecular mechanism of collagen upregulation. The expression of diverse collagens, such as COL13A1 and COL15A1, was upregulated in three dimensional (3D)-cultured or intact DPCs, compared to 2D-cultured hDPCs. This collagen expression was a downregulated in aged hair follicle, and aged DPCs were difficult to aggregate. Blocking of COL13A1 and COL15A1 by small interfering RNA reduced aggregation, while induced senescence of hDPCs in vitro. Further, transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) expression decreases with aging, and is involved in regulating the expression of COL13A1 and COL15A1. Addition of recombinant TGF-β2 delayed cellular senescence, and recovered spheroid formation in aged hDPCs by upregulating collagen levels. On the contrary, knock-out of TGF-β2 induced the aging of DPCs, and inhibited spheroid formation. These results suggested that COL13A1 and COL15A1 expression is downregulated with aging in DPCs, and upregulation of collagen by TGF-β2 induces the spheroid formation of DPCs. Therefore, TGF-β2 supplement in DPC culture medium could enhance the maintenance and hair inductivity of DPCs.

Abstract
Skin or hair loss (alopecia) may occur due to a wide variety of causes ranging from trauma to pathological processes including acquired or congenital causes. It would be ideal to replace them with immunologically compatible cells to avoid potentially exacerbating the condition. Deriving the replacement cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) allows for sufficient scale up and using hiPSCs as the choice of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) will ensure immunocompatibility. Here we offer a protocol for differentiating hiPSCs into keratinocyte progenitor cells (KPC) and keratinocytes employing all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and L-ascorbic acid, (L-AA), bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP4), and epidermal growth factor (EGF). We observed that the hiPSC-derived KPCs express the same panel of markers as primary hair follicle bulge stem cells (HFBSCs), including CD200, integrin α-6 (ITGA6), integrin β-1 (ITGB1), the transcription factor P63, keratin 15 (KRT15), and keratin 19 (KRT19). If permitted to differentiate further, the hiPSC-derived KPC lose CD200 expression and rather come to express keratin 14 (KRT14) indicating emergence of more mature terminally-differentiated keratinocytes. The HFBSCs are transplantable for hair follicle (HF) restoration, and the keratinocytes may be transplantable for therapy for large burns or ulcers. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hair follicle (HF) development and growth are dependent on epithelial-mesenchymal interactions (EMIs). Dermal papilla (DP) cells are recognized as the key inductive mesenchymal player, but the ideal source of receptive keratinocytes for human HF regeneration is yet to be defined. We herein investigated whether human interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes with stem-like features (EpSlKCs), characterized by a α6bri/CD71dim expression, can replace human hair follicular keratinocytes (HHFKCs) for the recreation of the HF epithelium and respective EMIs. METHODS The α6bri/CD71dim cellular fraction was selected from the whole interfollicular keratinocyte population through fluorescence-activated cell sorting and directly compared with follicular keratinocytes in terms of their proliferative capacity and phenotype. The crosstalk with DP cells was studied in an indirect co-culture system, and EpSlKC hair forming capacity tested in a hair reconstitution assay when combined with DP cells. RESULTS EpSlKCs exhibited a phenotypic profile similar to follicular keratinocytes and were capable of increasing DP cell proliferation and, for short co-culture times, the number of alkaline phosphatase-active cells, suggesting an improvement of their inductivity. Moreover, the recreation of immature HFs and sebaceous glands was observed after EpSlKC and DP cell co-grafting in nude mice. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that EpSlKCs are akin to follicular keratinocytes and can crosstalk with DP cells, contributing to HF morphogenesis in vivo, thus representing an attractive epithelial cell source for hair regeneration strategies.

Abstract
A cyst is a closed sac-like structure in which cyst walls wrap certain contents typically including air, fluid, lipid, mucous, or keratin. Cyst cells can retain multipotency to regenerate complex tissue architectures, or to differentiate. Cysts can form in and outside the skin due to genetic problems, errors in embryonic development, cellular defects, chronic inflammation, infections, blockages of ducts, parasites, and injuries. Multiple types of skin cysts have been identified with different cellular origins, with a common structure including the outside cyst wall engulfs differentiated suprabasal layers and keratins. The skin cyst is usually used as a sign in pathological diagnosis. Large or surfaced skin cysts affect patients' appearance and may cause the dysfunction or accompanying diseases of adjacent tissues. Skin cysts form as a result of the degradation of skin epithelium and appendages, retaining certain characteristics of multipotency. Surprisingly, recent organoid cultures show the formation of cyst configuration as a transient state toward more morphogenetic possibility. These results suggest, if we can learn more about the molecular circuits controlling upstream and downstream cellular events in cyst formation, we may be able to engineer stem cell cultures toward the phenotypes we wish to achieve. For pathological conditions in patients, we speculate it may also be possible to guide the cyst to differentiate or de-differentiate to generate structures more akin to normal architecture and compatible with skin homeostasis.

Abstract
The migration of epidermal stem cells (EpSCs) is critical for wound re-epithelization and wound healing. Recently, growth/differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) was discovered to have multiple biological effects on wound healing; however, its role in EpSCs remains unclear. In this work, recombinant mouse GDF-5 (rmGDF-5) was found via live imaging in vitro to facilitate the migration of mouse EpSCs in a wound-scratch model. Western blot and real-time PCR assays demonstrated that the expression levels of RhoA and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) were correlated with rmGDF-5 concentration. Furthermore, we found that rmGDF-5 stimulated mouse EpSC migration in vitro by regulating MMP9 expression at the mRNA and protein levels through the RhoA signalling pathway. Moreover, in a deep partial-thickness scald mouse model in vivo, GDF-5 was confirmed to promote EpSC migration and MMP9 expression via RhoA, as evidenced by the tracking of cells labelled with 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU). The current study showed that rmGDF-5 can promote mouse EpSC migration in vitro and in vivo and that GDF-5 can trigger the migration of EpSCs via RhoA-MMP9 signalling.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of oxygen tension on the proliferation and hair-inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and dermal sheath cells (DSCs). DPCs and DSCs were separately obtained from human hair follicles and each cultured under atmospheric/hyperoxic (20% O2), physiological/normoxic (6% O2), or hypoxic (1% O2) conditions. Proliferation of DPCs and DSCs was highest under normoxia. Compared with hyperoxia, hypoxia inhibited proliferation of DPCs, but enhanced that of DSCs. In DPCs, hypoxia downregulated the expression of hair-inductive capacity-related genes, including BMP4, LEF1, SOX2, and VCAN. In DSCs, both normoxia and hypoxia upregulated SOX2 expression, whereas hypoxia downregulated BMP4 expression. Microarray analysis revealed that normoxia increased the expression of pluripotency-related genes, including SPRY, NR0B1, MSX2, IFITM1, and DAZL, compared with hyperoxia. In an in vivo hair follicle reconstitution assay, cultured DPCs and DSCs were transplanted with newborn mouse epidermal keratinocytes into nude mice using a chamber method. In this experiment, normoxia resulted in the most efficient induction of DPC hair follicles, whereas hypoxia caused the most efficient induction and maturation of DSC hair follicles. These results suggest that application of physiological/hypoxic oxygen tension to cultured human DSCs enhances proliferation and maintenance of hair inductivity for skin engineering and clinical applications. Impact statement Dermal sheath cells (DSCs) and dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are useful cell sources for cell-based regenerative therapy. This is the first report to describe that low-oxygen conditions are better for DSCs. Normoxic and hypoxic culture of DSCs is beneficial for expanding these hair follicular cells and advancing development of cell-based therapy for both wound healing and hair regeneration. The current study supports that optimized oxygen tension can be applied to use expanded human DPCs and DSCs for skin engineering and clinical applications.

Abstract
Background Cashmere goats make an outstanding contribution to the livestock textile industry and their cashmere is famous for its slenderness and softness and has been extensively studied. However, there are few reports on the molecular regulatory mechanisms of the secondary hair follicle growth cycle in cashmere goats. In order to explore the regular transition through the follicle cycle and the role of key genes in this cycle, we used a transcriptome sequencing technique to sequence the skin of Inner Mongolian cashmere goats during different months. We analyzed the variation and difference in genes throughout the whole hair follicle cycle. We then verified the regulatory mechanism of the cashmere goat secondary hair follicle growth cycle using fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results The growth cycle of cashmere hair could be divided into three distinct periods: a growth period (March–September), a regression period (September–December), and a resting period (December–March). The results of differential gene analyses showed that March was the most significant month. Cluster analysis of gene expression throughout the whole growth cycle further supported the key nodes of the three periods of cashmere growth, and the differential gene expression of keratin corresponding to the ground haircashmere growth cycle further supported the results from tissue slices. Quantitative fluorescence analysis showed that KAP3–1, KRTAP 8–1, and KRTAP 24–1 genes had close positive correlation with the cashmere growth cycle, and their regulation was consistent with the growth cycle of cashmere. Conclusion The growth cycle of cashmere cashmere could be divided into three distinct periods: a growth period (March–September), a regression period (September–December) and a resting period (December–March). March was considered to be the beginning of the cycle. KAP and KRTAP showed close positive correlation with the growth cycle of secondary hair follicle cashmere growth, and their regulation was consistent with the cashmere growth cycle. But hair follicle development-related genes are expressed earlier than cashmere growth, indicating that cycle regulation could alter the temporal growth of cashmere. This study laid a theoretical foundation for the study of the cashmere development cycle and provided evidence for key genes during transition through the cashmere cycle. Our study provides a theoretical basis for cashmere goat breeding.

Abstract
Today, about 50% of men and 15-30% of women suffer from hair loss as well as the associated psychological impact. Drug therapy, especially through topical administration, is the main treatment strategy for stimulating hair regrowth. However, challenges exist due to the skin barrier that hinders drug penetration. To this end, many efforts have been made to enhance drug penetration efficiency. This review focuses on the advancement of the transdermal drug delivery strategies for hair loss therapy reported in the last five years, especially those via nanoformulations for topical administration and microneedles for transdermal delivery. In addition, physical or chemical penetration enhancers are also introduced, which are often applied with the drug delivery systems to achieve a synergy effect.

The efficacy of a traditional medicine preparation on second-degree burn wounds in rats. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 252:112570. [PMID: 31945402 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2019] [Revised: 12/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/10/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Lime Salve (L.S) has been well documented from the 9th to the 19th century AD by traditional Iranian medicine (TIM) as an effective remedy for burn healing. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study was undertaken to evaluate the healing effect and related underlying mechanisms of Lime Salve in a model of deep second-degree thermal burn in male Wistar rats. MATERIALS AND METHOD L.S was made up of a combination of refined calcium hydroxide powder, beeswax and sesame oil and its quality control was assessed. A deep second-degree burn was created by a hot plate in 48 male Wistar rats. Afterwards, they were randomly divided into four groups including normal saline (C group), L.S (T group), basement of formulation composed of beeswax and sesame oil (B group) and silver sulfadiazine (S group). On days 5, 10, 17 and 24, the wounds were digitally photographed by a camera and after sacrifice of the rats, skin samples were obtained for performing qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry staining and histological examination. RESULTS L.S prominently augmented the wound closure rate, neovascularization on day 10 and collagen formation on days 17 and 24 in comparison with the C group. Furthermore, the Salve-exposed specimens showed a significant higher epithelialization during the experiment with a peak on day 24. qRT-PCR also showed that on day 10, VEGF and TGF-β1 genes were significantly higher in the T group as compared with the C group. Also, MMP-9 and MMP-2 genes had a significant peak of expression on day 17 and rapid reduction of expression on day 24. Expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α genes peaked on day 10 in the T group, followed by a progressive reduction until the end of the examination. CONCLUSION L.S could effectively accelerate the healing process of deep second-degree burn wounds and therefore, it may be recommended as a promising topical medication for treating burn wounds in the future clinical trials.

Systematic Review of Platelet-Rich Plasma Use in Androgenetic Alopecia Compared with Minoxidil ®, Finasteride ®, and Adult Stem Cell-Based Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21082702. [PMID: 32295047 PMCID: PMC7216252 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21082702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 78] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 04/11/2020] [Accepted: 04/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The number of articles evaluating platelet-rich plasma (PRP) efficacy in androgenic alopecia (AGA) have exponentially increased during the last decade. A systematic review on this field was performed by assessing in the selected studies the local injections of PRP compared to any control for AGA. The protocol was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting for Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. A multistep search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, PreMEDLINE, Ebase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Clinicaltrials.gov, Scopus database, and Cochrane databases was performed to identify studies on hair loss treatment with platelet-rich plasma. Of the 163 articles initially identified, 123 articles focusing on AGA were selected and, consequently, only 12 clinical trials were analyzed. The studies included had to match predetermined criteria according to the PICOS (patients, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and study design) approach. In total, 84% of the studies reported a positive effect of PRP for AGA treatment. Among them, 50% of the studies demonstrated a statistically significant improvement using objective measures and 34% of the studies showed hair density and hair thickness improvement, although no p values or statistical analysis was described. In total, 17% of the studies reported greater improvement in lower-grade AGA, while 8% noted increased improvement in higher-grade AGA. Only 17% of the studies reported that PRP was not effective in treating AGA. The information analyzed highlights the positive effects of PRP on AGA, without major side effects and thus it be may considered as a safe and effective alternative procedure to treat hair loss compared with Minoxidil® and Finasteride®.

Abstract
The study elucidated the wound healing and hair regeneration properties of a conditioned medium prepared from the culture of human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs). The wound-healing effects of mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium (MSC-CM) were tested in vitro using scratch assays co-cultured with HaCaT keratinocyte and monitored through optical microscopy. The cell proliferation of HFMSCs and the HaCaT keratinocyte were observed in the presence of different kinds of drugs including UK5099, sodium L-lactate, lactate dehydrogenase-A, MSC-CM, caffeine, and caffeic acid. The hair regeneration properties were investigated in vivo by administrating the MSC-CM solutions to adult B6 mouse models. For quantification, hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed following euthanasia. In vitro results revealed that MSC-CM promotes dermal cell migrations and enhances proliferation of HFMSCs and HaCaT keratinocytes, demonstrating wound-healing properties. Moreover, when the MSC-CM solutions were applied to the shaved mouse skin, a dark area that expanded overtime was seen. Although no hair growth was found, histological analysis proved that a fat layer thickness increment was found under the mouse’s skin, ultimately projecting the formation of new hair growth. MSC-CM promotes the migration and proliferation of dermal keratinocytes that are beneficial for wound healing and hair growth. It is believed that MSC-CM can potentially serve as the basis of alternative therapeutic applications for wound closure and skin regeneration as well as hair growth stimulation and hair loss prevention in alopecia.

Abstract
Hair loss is a common medical problem affecting both males and females. Dermal papilla (DP) cells are the ultimate reservoir of cells with the potential of hair regeneration in hair loss patients. Here, we analyzed the role of macrophage-derived Wnts (3a and 7b) and macrophage extracellular vesicles (MAC-EVs) in promoting hair growth. We studied the proliferation, migration, and expression of growth factors of human-DP cells in the presence or absence of MAC-EVs. Additionally, we tested the effect of MAC-EV treatment on hair growth in a mouse model and human hair follicles. Data from western blot and flow cytometry showed that MAC-EVs were enriched with Wnt3a and Wnt7b, and more than 95% were associated with their membrane. The results suggest that Wnt proteins in MAC-EVs activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways, which leads to activation of transcription factors (Axin2 and Lef1). The MAC-EVs significantly enhanced the proliferation, migration, and levels of hair-inductive markers of DP cells. Additionally, MAC-EVs phosphorylated AKT and increased the levels of the survival protein Bcl-2. The DP cells treated with MAC-EVs showed increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). Treatment of Balb/c mice with MAC-EVs promoted hair follicle (HF) growth in vivo and also increased hair shaft size in a short period in human HFs. Our findings suggest that MAC-EV treatment could be clinically used as a promising novel anagen inducer in the treatment of hair loss.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveStem cells hold promise for treating hair loss. Here an in vitro mouse model was developed using outer root sheaths (ORSs) isolated from hair follicles for studying stem cell-mediated dermal papillary regeneration.MethodsUnder sterile conditions, structurally intact ORSs were isolated from hair follicles of 3-day-old Kunming mice and incubated in growth medium. Samples were collected daily for 5 days. Stem cell distribution, proliferation, differentiation, and migration were monitored during regeneration.ResultsCell proliferation began at the glass membrane periphery then spread gradually toward the membrane center, with the presence of CD34 and CD200 positive stem cells involved in repair initiation. Next, CD34 positive stem cells migrated down the glass membrane, where some participated in ORS formation, while other CD34 cells and CD200 positive cells migrated to hair follicle centers. Within the hair follicle matrix, stem cells divided, grew, differentiated and caused outward expansion of the glass membrane to form a dermal papillary structure containing alpha-smooth muscle actin. Neutrophils attracted to the wound site phagocytosed bacterial and cell debris to protect regenerating tissue from infection.ConclusionIsolated hair follicle ORSs can regenerate new dermal papillary structures in vitro. Stem cells and neutrophils play important roles in the regeneration process.

Abstract
Tissue engineering in hair regrowth aims to develop innovative and not-invasive procedures to advance the hair regrowth. A placebo-controlled, randomized, evaluator-blinded, half-head group study to compare hair regrowth with micrografts containing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) vs. placebo was reported. After 58 weeks, 27 patients displayed in the targeted area an increase of hair count and hair density, respectively, of 18.0 hairs per 0.65 cm2 and 23.3 hairs per cm2 compared with baseline, while the control area displayed a mean decrease of 1.1 hairs per 0.65 cm2 and 0.7 hairs per cm2 (control vs. treatment: P < 0.0001). After 26 months, 6 patients revealed dynamic hair loss and were retreated. More broad controlled examinations are required. HF-MSCs contained in micrografts may represent a safe and viable treatment alternative against hair loss.

Abstract
Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are associated with the development of hair follicles (HFs) and the regulation of the hair growth cycle. Previous studies have shown that Wnt family member 10B (WNT10B) plays an important role in the proliferation and survival of DPCs in vitro, and promotes the growth of HFs. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. The present study evaluated the role of WNT10B in regulating HF morphogenesis by characterizing the differential gene expression profiles between WNT10B-treated DPCs and control DPCs using RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). A total of 1,073 and 451 genes were upregulated and downregulated, respectively. The RNA-seq data was subsequently validated by reverse-transcription quantitative PCR. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that 442 GO terms and 21 KEGG pathways were significantly enriched. Further functional analysis revealed that WNT10B decreased translation initiation, elongation and termination, and RNA metabolic processes in cultured DPCs compared with controls in vitro. Human signaling networks were compared using pathway analysis, and treatment of DPCs with WNT10B was revealed to downregulate the ribosome biogenesis pathway and decrease protein synthesis in vitro. KEGG pathway analysis showed that WNT10B upregulated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway. The present study analyzed the expression of mRNA in WNT10B-treated DPCs using next-generation sequencing and uncovered mechanisms regulating the induction of HFs.

Abstract
Hair bio-engineering has risen at the crossing point of various manipulations to meet a clinical requirement for innovations to advance hair growth. The authors reported the microscopic and trichoscopic results of an autologous cell biological technique to compare, through histological, immunocytochemistry, and cytospin analysis, hair re-growth obtained by micro-grafts from scalp tissue containing Human Intra- and Extra-Dermal Adipose Tissue-Derived Hair Follicle Stem Cells (HD-AFSCs) versus placebo (saline solution). An autologous solution of micro-grafts was obtained from mechanical fragmentation and centrifugation of scalp biopsy’s (2 × 2 mm) using “Gentile protocol”. The micro-grafts solution was mechanically infiltrated on half of the selected patients’ scalps with Androgenic Alopecia (Norwood–Hamilton 2–5 and Ludwig 1–2). The other half was infiltrated with saline solution. Three injections were performed to each patient at 45-day intervals. Of the 35 patients who were enrolled, 1 was excluded and 1 was rejected. 23 and 44 weeks after the last micro graft’s injections, the patients displayed a hair density improvement, with a mean increment of 33% ± 7.5% and 27% ± 3.5% respectively, contrasted with baseline values, for the treated region. Microscopic assessment appeared, in scalp biopsies, to show an expansion in the number of hair follicles per mm2 following 11 months from the last micro-grafts application compared with baseline (1.4 + 0.27 versus 0.46 + 0.15, respectively; p < 0.05). HD-AFSCs contained in micro-grafts may represent a safe and effective alternative therapy option against hair loss.

Abstract
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA)-based nanoparticles draw remarkable attention as drug delivery agents due to their controlled release characteristics, low toxicity, and biocompatibility. 4HGF is an herbal mixture of Phellinus linteus grown on germinated brown rice, Cordyceps militaris grown on germinated soybeans, Polygonum multiflorum, Ficus carica, and Cocos nucifera oil. Here, we encapsulated 4HGF within PGA-based hydrogel nanoparticles, prepared by simple ionic gelation with chitosan, to facilitate its penetration into hair follicles (HFs). In this study, we report the hair promoting activity of 4HGF encapsulated with PGA nanoparticles (PGA-4HGF) and their mechanism, compared to 4HGF alone. The average size of spherical nanoparticles was ~400 nm in diameter. Continuous release of PGA-4HGF was observed in a simulated physiological condition. As expected, PGA-4HGF treatment increased hair length, induced earlier anagen initiation, and elongated the duration of the anagen phase in C57BL/6N mice, compared with free 4HGF treatment. PGA-4HGF significantly increased dermal papilla cell proliferation and induced cell cycle progression. PGA-4HGF also significantly increased the total amount of β-catenin protein expression, a stimulator of the anagen phase, through induction of cyclinD1 and CDK4 protein levels, compared to free 4HGF treatment. Our findings underscore the potential of PGA nanocapsules to efficiently deliver 4HGF into HFs, hence promoting hair-growth. Therefore, PGA-4HGF nanoparticles may be promising therapeutic agents for hair growth disorders.

Abstract
The use of stem cells has been reported to improve hair regrowth in several therapeutic strategies, including reversing the pathological mechanisms, that contribute to hair loss, regeneration of hair follicles, or creating hair using the tissue-engineering approach. Although various promising stem cell approaches are progressing via pre-clinical models to clinical trials, intraoperative stem cell treatments with a one-step procedure offer a quicker result by incorporating an autologous cell source without manipulation, which may be injected by surgeons through a well-established clinical practice. Many authors have concentrated on adipose-derived stromal vascular cells due to their ability to separate into numerous cell genealogies, platelet-rich plasma for its ability to enhance cell multiplication and neo-angiogenesis, as well as human follicle mesenchymal stem cells. In this paper, the significant improvements in intraoperative stem cell approaches, from in vivo models to clinical investigations, are reviewed. The potential regenerative instruments and functions of various cell populaces in the hair regrowth process are discussed. The addition of Wnt signaling in dermal papilla cells is considered a key factor in stimulating hair growth. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived signaling and growth factors obtained by platelets influence hair growth through cellular proliferation to prolong the anagen phase (FGF-7), induce cell growth (ERK activation), stimulate hair follicle development (β-catenin), and suppress apoptotic cues (Bcl-2 release and Akt activation).

Abstract
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and Micrografts containing human follicle mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs) were tried as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). However, little to no work has yet to be seen wherein the bio-molecular pathway of HF-MSCs or PRP treatments were analyzed. The aims of this work are to report the clinical effectiveness of HF-MSCs and platelet-rich plasma evaluating and reviewing the most updated information related to the bio-molecular pathway. Twenty-one patients were treated with HF-MSCs injections and 57 patients were treated with A-PRP. The Wnt pathway and Platelet derived-growth factors effects were analyzed. 23 weeks after the last treatment with mean hair thickness increments (29 ± 5.0%) over baseline values for the targeted area. 12 weeks after the last injection with A-PRP mean hair count and hair density (31 ± 2%) increases significantly over baseline values. The increment of Wnt signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells evidently is one of the principal factors that enhances hair growth. Signaling from mesenchymal stem cells and platelet derived growth factors positively influences hair growth through cellular proliferation to prolong the anagen phase (FGF-7), inducing cell growth (ERK activation), stimulating hair follicle development (β-catenin), and suppressing apoptotic cues (Bcl-2 release and Akt activation).
