New Stem Cell Therapy Shows 'Promising' Results For Treating Hair Loss In Preclinical Trials
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. The researchers concluded that hair regrowth was improved in 'all experimental groups' where male mice received stem cell solutions supplemented with ATP.

Lead study author Dr. Eduardo López Bran — dermatologist and professor at The Complutense University of Madrid — shared his expectations for the study in an interview with Fox News Digital. 'We expected good results, but not such a high level of success,' he said. 'We're talking about a very high degree of hair regrowth in both male and female mice.' 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.

The main limitation of the study was the thinness of mouse skin, Bran noted, which 'posed a challenge in administering the therapy.'

'It is important to remain hopeful.

'This study is small, and more research is needed on this method as a potential treatment option.' 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, the researcher noted. 'If everything progresses as expected, the most optimistic timeline points to the treatment becoming available in approximately five years,' he said.

'While not commercially available, this study suggests that injection of stem cells supplemented with ATP into scalp skin could potentially encourage hair regrowth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia,' he reiterated.

Breakthrough cure for baldness: 100% of male mice regrew fur with new treatment
It's the bald truth. Researchers at San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid have developed a cure for androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as pattern hair loss. An estimated 80 million Americans — 50 million men and 30 million women — experience some form of alopecia, although it affects women differently than men. Advertisement Researchers at San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid have developed a cure for androgenetic alopecia — commonly known as pattern hair loss. Phimchanok – Men usually go through a receding hairline and bald spots, whereas women get thinner at the part line but rarely go fully bald. In the study — published in the journal Stem Cell Research and Therapy — researchers used a combo of fat‑tissue-derived stem cells and the energy molecule ATP to reverse hair loss in mice, with shocking results. Advertisement All of the male mice grew back their coats. Half had full regrowth, while the other half had intensive regrowth. Among females, a whopping 90% saw intense or complete hair revival. Eduardo López Bran, head of the Dermatology Department at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos, explained that their special method 'stimulates hair regeneration by combining the regenerative capacity of the former with the energy provided by the latter. This synergy favors the recovery of the hair follicle, promoting hair growth.' While the findings will need to be replicated in human trials, the results pave a promising way forward in the fight against hair loss. Advertisement All of the male mice grew back their coats. Among females, a whopping 90% saw intense or complete hair revival. Javier – 'In the future, we will be able to offer new solutions that allow us to meet patients' expectations, allowing them access to new treatments that prioritize their well-being,' Eduardo López Bran said. It's an exciting development in an area where there's plenty of room for growth. Advertisement While hair transplant surgery is on the rise, many people don't realize that it actually often takes several procedures to achieve the desired result. 'An alarming trend is patients who now go to perform a hair transplant by a physician who does not consult the patient about his or her hair loss nor is he actively involved in the surgery,' Texas facial plastic surgeon and hair restoration expert Dr. Samuel Lam previously told The Post. He noted that this troubling practice is 'most rampant' in Turkey — where hair transplant surgery has exploded due to its relative affordability — but it is 'also extremely prevalent in the US, unfortunately.' Meanwhile, some men have been vocal about how post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) — a condition in which someone experiences severe side effects after they stop using finasteride — has completely upended their lives. One woman even recently chronicled how PFS destroyed her husband's sex drive — and ended their marriage. Researchers are racing to find new, safer and more affordable hair loss treatments, inventing non-hormonal pills and gummies and repurposing older drugs to find a sustainable solution.
