    TLDR Tiny particles from 3D-grown skin cells speed up wound healing by promoting blood vessel growth.
    This study explored the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from 3D cultured dermal papilla cells (tdDPCs) to improve wound healing. The researchers developed tdDPCs using a self-feeder 3D culture method and extracted EVs from these cells. They compared the effects of EVs from tdDPCs and traditional DPCs on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and in a murine model of full-thickness skin injury. The tdDPC-EVs were found to significantly promote HUVEC proliferation, lumen formation, and migration, and they enhanced angiogenesis and wound healing more effectively than DPC-EVs both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis and functional experiments indicated that the tdDPC-EV-regulated Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4)/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) axis is crucial for accelerating wound healing. The study concludes that 3D cultivation is a promising strategy for developing DPC-derived EVs for skin wound treatment, with tdDPC-EVs notably improving wound healing through KLF4/VEGFA-driven angiogenesis.

      community Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.

      in Treatment  44 upvotes 1 month ago
      A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.
