According to the team, cell therapy with the 3D cells could be an effective treatment for baldness. However, one would have to grow, expand, preserve, and inject those cells into the area. “MiRNAs, on the other hand, can be utilized in small molecule-based drugs. So potentially you could create a cream or lotion that has a similar effect with many fewer problems,” Cheng said.
Future studies will now focus on using just this miRNA to promote hair growth. This is indeed a positive and hopeful step towards proper hair regeneration that could help millions of people. Hopefully, these future studies can expand on this research and help develop an effective hair regrowth drug or cream.
