    TLDR Tiny natural vesicles from cells might help treat hair loss.
    Recent studies have indicated that cell-derived nanovesicles (CDVs), which are natural extracellular vesicles capable of carrying biological materials like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, may offer new treatment strategies for hair growth. These vesicles can interact with cells both locally and at a distance, potentially delivering both endogenous materials and exogenous drugs for regenerative purposes. The review discusses the current understanding of how CDVs can be applied to hair growth and suggests that a deeper knowledge of their mechanisms could hasten their clinical application for treating hair loss.

      community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 1 year ago
      Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
