Hair Follicle Regeneration

Hair Follicle Regeneration: Stem Cell and Translational Approaches by Francisco Jimenez and Claire Higgins provides a comprehensive review of current strategies aimed at regenerating human hair follicles. Recognizing the hair follicle as a dynamic mini-organ and a primary reservoir of cutaneous stem cells, the book explores its unique ability for self-renewal and its broader roles in pigmentation, dermal remodeling, wound healing, and stem cell homeostasis. While human hair follicle regeneration remains challenging compared to animal models, advances in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and 3D printing have renewed hope for effective therapies against hair loss.
