Our purpose

Hair-follicle regeneration sits between developmental biology, cell manufacturing, cosmetic medicine and consumer hope. We track the field with a simple objective: show what has been demonstrated, what is being tested and what remains a forecast.

Evidence ladder

  1. Approved treatmentAuthorised by the relevant regulator for the stated use.
  2. Controlled human evidenceResults from a registered comparative study with defined endpoints.
  3. Early human evidenceSafety, feasibility or exploratory treatment data.
  4. Preclinical evidenceLaboratory, organoid, animal or humanised-animal results.
  5. Developer claimA company statement without sufficient public results for independent assessment.

Editorial standards

We prefer trial registries, regulator publications and peer-reviewed papers. Company materials are used as primary sources for statements about a developer’s own programme and are identified accordingly. We do not accept payment to change an evidence rating.

Articles are researched and drafted with AI assistance and checked against the linked sources under human publisher oversight. Automated systems support source monitoring and structured data maintenance. They do not determine medical efficacy or replace editorial review.

Editorial accountability

Ulrich Schmitz is the publisher and is responsible for editorial review. The publication does not claim clinical or regulatory credentials. Articles have not received independent medical review unless this is stated on the individual page. Sources, review dates and evidence classifications are provided so that readers can examine the basis of an assessment.

Review cadence

Active clinical trials and company stages are checked against their primary sources at least monthly and after material announcements. Each tracker entry displays its latest verification date. Evergreen explainers are reviewed when the underlying evidence or regulatory context changes.

Corrections policy

Factual corrections are made promptly and material changes are recorded in the relevant article. A developer may provide evidence or identify an error, but it cannot purchase a change to our classification. Date-stamped source checks allow readers to distinguish a current assessment from an old prediction.

Corrections and contact

Send corrections, source material or interview proposals to editor@haircloning.info. Material corrections will be noted with the date and reason.
