Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] (CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 294,775, filed December 29, 2021, the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated by reference. [Background technology]
[0002] Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) undergo repeated periods of quiescence (telogen) punctuated by short periods of proliferation that correlate with the initiation of the hair cycle (the transition from telogen to anagen). It is well known that HFSC proliferation or activation is a prerequisite for the progression of the hair cycle. Despite advances in treatment options, baldness and alopecia remain unsuccessfully treatable conditions for many individuals. Some of the existing treatments are inconvenient for users, and others require surgical intervention or invasive procedures. Further therapies are needed.
