Hair follicles follow a pattern growth, rest and regrowth. It has been noticed that those suffering from hair loss possess abnormal hair follicles that remains in the rest period for longer period of time thus hindering the regrowth stage. The researchers identified that the stem cells, which are located in the hair follicle bulge, could result into hair growth.
These stem cells were transplanted into the adult mice and within a time period of 4 weeks the transplanted stem cells gave rise to new follicles which helped in the growth of new hair.
