TLDR Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes can boost hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell activity.
The study investigated the effects of adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ADSC-Exos) on dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and hair growth. ADSC-Exos were isolated and co-cultured with DPCs, and their impact on cell proliferation and inducibility was assessed using cell proliferation assays and Western blot analysis. The results showed that ADSC-Exos significantly increased the viability of DPCs and elevated the expression levels of Versican and alkaline phosphatase, indicating enhanced hair follicle inducibility. The study concluded that ADSC-Exos could promote DPC proliferation and improve their ability to induce hair follicle growth.
