..UCLA researchers have discovered a new way to activate the stem cells in the hair follicle to make hair grow. The research may lead to new drugs that could promote hair growth for people with baldness or alopecia, which is hair loss associated with such factors as hormonal imbalance, stress, aging or chemotherapy. Hair follicle stem cells are long-lived cells in the hair follicle that are present in the skin and produce hair throughout a person’s lifetime. They are quiescent, meaning they are normally inactive, but they quickly activate during a new hair cycle, which is when new hair growth occurs. The quiescence of hair follicle stem cells is regulated by many factors. In certain cases, they fail to activate, which is what causes hair loss.
..The study by Heather Christofk, PhD, and William Lowry, PhD, both of the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA, found that hair follicle stem cell metabolism is different from other cells of the skin.
GSCG..The opening of the Cochabamba stem cell clinic is in association with aesthetic surgery specialist Katherine Antezana, and will provide adipose derived stem cell treatments for aesthetic and cosmetic procedures. Under the Global Stem Cells Group brand, the new clinic will initiate a study on the use of adipose stem cells for hair growth.

AAPE product benefits:
Skin care
More than 800 types of human protein extracts in stem cells provide superior biological activity to boost cell repair and improve skin elasticity that is lost in the natural aging process. AAPE can be applied in various areas of clinical treatment with MTS and laser for anti-wrinkle, anti-oxidation, wound healing, and whitening effects. In Japan, more than 200 dermatologic clinics use AAPE for skin rejuvenation. AAPE is approved by dermatologists and medical professionals in the U.S., Korea, and Japan. Since it is extracted from human adipose-derived stem cells, AAPE is considered very safe, effective, and powerful for anti-aging skin care regimens.
Hair care:
AAPE hair care serum is a non-invasive treatment that can be applied in a clinical setting without discomfort or downtime as a hair loss treatment.
The serum’s adipose or fat tissue content provides large numbers of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) which are located within the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) which contains powerful regenerative stem and stromal cells, progenitor cells, growth factors and many other powerful biologic components that work to regenerate cell growth.
AAPE hair treatments can be used with PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma. Like PRP, recent scientific literature supports the use of adipose-derived stem cells to help enhance hair growth from weak hair follicles.
..Stem cell and platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapies are considered as regenerative or bio medicines. They are minimally invasive and hence reduce the need for surgery. These therapies help stimulate, rebuild, and strengthen hair regrowth, instead of removing damaged tissue from the scalp. Increasing preference for minimally invasive procedures over surgeries is expected to boost the U.S. market. https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/us-platelet-rich-plasma-prp-stem-cell-alopecia-treatment-market Massive market for Dop replacement and skin & Hair.
