In this patient, Denise, a mixture of Autologel PRP (platelet rich plasma) and ACell extracellular matrix (ECM) was injected into several areas of severe alopecia. Within just a few weeks the hair regrowth was evident (seen here beginning at 6 weeks) and had completely regrown at 4 months.

What is PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma?
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma is the use of a person’s own blood platelets to enhance hair growth as a stand-alone treatment or to improve the recovery and results of hair transplant surgery. In the field of tissue regeneration, research is continuing to progress regarding the use of PRP’s ability to stimulate stem cells, improve wound healing, and rejuvenate skin and hair follicles.
How is PRP performed as a stand-alone treatment for hair growth?
A small sample of blood is obtained from the patient. This sample is processed in an FDA-cleared device to separate the platelets from other components like red blood cells. Platelets are then chemically ‘activated,’ releasing powerful molecules which have profound biologic effects on hair follicles and skin. Under comfortable local anesthesia, this powerful cocktail of growth factors, cytokines and other proteins is injected into the area of scalp where weak hair follicles exist. Microneedling of the skin is also performed. Mild soreness, if any, resolves in less than a day and improved hair growth can be measured in a matter of weeks.
Is all PRP the same?
Unfortunately not, and this is where it can get confusing for patients (and physicians!). At Bauman Medical Group, we use the FDA approved Autologel PRP process to separate and activate Platelet Rich Plasma for use as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with hair transplantation. Bauman Medical Group is proud to be the first complete hair transplant team to be fully certified by Cytomedix to produce Autologel. That means that every member of our team has passed certification for the preparation and application of Autologel PRP. At Bauman Medical Group, we feel that our PRP/ACell protocols are providing significant stimulation of hair growth and hair follicle rejuvenation.

Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) determined the anti-tumor effects of neural stem cells in 3-D culture models. Stem cell aggregates, or spheroids (blue), were placed next to brain cancer cell spheroids. Fluorescent images captured over seven days showed that the stem cell therapy decreased the volume of cancer spheroids. The researchers, who were funded in part by the Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program, are working to advance the therapy towards first-in-human clinical trials.

A research fellow works in the NIAMS Cartilage Biology and Orthopaedics Branch. The lab focuses on understanding specific orthopaedic pathologies to better facilitate translation of lab results to clinical settings. The researchers are using cellular, molecular, and genetic approaches to analyze cartilage development, growth, diseases and aging, and are applying the emerging technology of mesenchymal stem cell-based tissue engineering for functional cartilage replacement.

Stem cells combined with parathyroid hormone (PTH) accelerated fracture healing of the spine in a mouse model. In image A, the red arrow points to a stem cell targeting a spinal bone fracture. In image B, arrows point to bone loss in two spinal bone fractures. Image C shows complete healing of spinal bone fractures eight weeks after treatment with stem cells and PTH. Mice treated with either therapy alone, or untreated, showed minimal bone repair.

Skeletal muscles heal following an injury by activating satellite stem cells to generate new muscle cells. But in some diseases like muscular dystrophy, this process does not work as it should. NIAMS-funded researchers have identified a protein, the TNF receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which may be key to developing new stem cell treatments for muscle wasting diseases. The left image shows extensive formation of new muscle fibers (red) following injury in a mouse muscle containing the TRAF6 protein. The image on the right is injured mouse muscle that does not contain TRAF6. It shows a marked deficit in muscle regeneration and large areas devoid of muscle fibers (white), as well as accumulations of fibrotic tissue (blue).
