Researchers Working on Biological Solutions to Hair Loss

More than 50 million men in the United States are suffering from hair loss. There are various studies that aim to combat this issue, such as stem cell research and gene therapy. Here are three examples:

1. Organ-Level Quorum Sensing

The University of Southern California conducted a study to see if strategically plucking hairs from certain areas of the scalp can trigger an increase in growth. The results showed that the plucking triggered stem cell regeneration of hair follicles. The response is called, “quorum sensing.”

2. Stem Cell Research

Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute conducted an experiment of their own using stem cells. They used human pluripotent stem cells to produce new cells that could trigger hair growth on humans.

3. Gene Therapy

Lastly, the University College in London identified a new species of genes that affects hair density and baldness. The research continues, as experts search for a way to target the genes that are related to hair loss.
