Protector Protein MCL-1 Could Enable Hair Regrowth

A Nature Communications study identifies MCL-1 as a cellular safeguard that lets activated hair follicle stem cells survive the stress of regrowth; without MCL-1, p53-driven cell death destroys the stem cells and halts hair regeneration, while blocking p53 can resume growth. ERBB signaling boosts MCL-1, and removing just one copy of the Bak gene can restore normal growth even without MCL-1, pointing to new therapeutic avenues for alopecia and broader insights into stem‑cell repair and cancer.

Thigh Fat Injections: A Potential Cure for Baldness, Say Scientists

Injecting fat from the thighs into the scalp has shown promise in preventing baldness and thickening hair, particularly for scarring alopecia. A scientific review found that this technique increased hair thickness and reduced hair loss in individuals with scarring alopecia and male pattern baldness. The treatment controls inflammation within the scalp, increases hair density and diameter, and is considered a potentially effective method for hair loss and alopecic conditions. Fatty tissue contains growth factors that aid in hair regeneration and fight inflammation. Side effects were generally mild and temporary.
