Promotion of Hair Growth by Conditioned Medium from Extracellular Matrix/Stromal Vascular Fraction Gel in C57BL/6 Mice

Figure 3

Hair-growth effect of ECM/SVF-CM in hair-loss-induced C57BL/6 mice. The hair was removed from the backs of C57BL/6 mice and the hair-growth rate was monitored for 3 weeks. Mice were injected with ECM/SVF-CM, SVF-CM, and PBS (control), respectively, once per week for 3 weeks. Gross view was observed by photographs (a), and hair-growth scoring was measured (b). Mice in the ECM/SVF-CM injection group () showed significantly increased hair regeneration compared with the SVF-CM injection group (, ) and negative control group (#, ). The SVF-CM injection group also showed significantly increased hair regeneration compared with the control group (). The data shown represent one of each group, and experiments were performed three times independently.
