The need for effective hair loss treatments has fostered research and the emergence of several biotechnology companies. Pharmacological approaches, although competitive, have been surpassed by cell-based therapies, which remain clinically immature. But are the current efforts enough for the hairy goal, or will additional strategies be required?
