TLDR Stem cells, PRP, and exosomes show promise in treating skin conditions but face regulatory and safety challenges.
The document reviews the history and future implications of stem cells, PRP, and exosomes in regenerative medicine and dermatology. It highlights significant advancements in these therapies, particularly their roles in treating chronic dermatological conditions like chronic wounds, scarring, and androgenetic alopecia. Despite promising results, the application of these therapies is hindered by regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and the need for standardization in isolation, storage, dosage, and application. Ongoing research is essential to optimize these therapies for clinical use and improve patient outcomes.
