On February 7, several start-up companies are trying to apply the latest research results of genetic engineering to a common problem – hair loss, hoping to restore people’s hair growth ability by generating new hair-producing cells.

But aging, cancer, testosterone, genetic defects, and even Covid-19 can kill the stem cells in hair follicles that are responsible for hair growth. Once these stem cells die, the hair falls out and never grows again, but by changing the active genes in the cells, any cell can be converted directly into a hair stem cell. (Sina Technology)
