Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of treating hair loss affected areas. In some embodiments, the methods of treating hair loss comprise delivering senescent cells or factors derived from senescent cells to the hair loss effected area. Also disclosed herein are methods of making compositions of senescent cells and compositions of senescent cells.
Claims1
A method for enhancing or inducing hair growth in a subject at an area affected by hair loss, comprising:
- delivering at least one senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factor, or at least one senescent cell that secretes said at least one SASP factor, to the subject at the area affected by hair loss,
- wherein the at least one senescent cell comprises at least one cell that is non-replicative or exhibits a non-replicative phenotype,
- wherein the delivery of the at least one senescent cells or of the at least one SASP factor induces one or more of lengthening an anagen phase and shortening a telogen phase of a hair follicle in the area affected by hair loss, and
- wherein the lengthening of the anagen phase and/or shortening of the telogen phase of the hair follicle enhances or induces hair growth in the subject at the area affected by hair loss.
