Dermal exosomes containing miR-218-5p promote hair regeneration by regulating β-catenin signaling
July 2020
in “Science Advances”
TLDR Dermal exosomes with miR-218-5p boost hair growth by controlling β-catenin signaling.
A study from 2 years ago found that dermal exosomes containing miR-218-5p can promote hair regeneration in mice by regulating β-catenin signaling, indicating a potential therapeutic approach for hair loss. The exosomes increased hair growth and thickness, promoted hair follicle stem cell proliferation, and inhibited apoptosis, making miR-218-5p a potential therapeutic target for hair loss. Further research is needed to fully understand this process and determine if the same results can be replicated in humans.

research Molecular principles of hair follicle induction and morphogenesis
Hair follicle (HF) development resulted from interactions between neuroectodermal and mesodermal tissues and could be divided into stages: induction, organogenesis, and cytodifferentiation. The process was regulated by gradients of inhibitors and activators from the skin epithelium and mesenchyme. For HF development, inhibitors had to be counteracted by specific antagonists or overridden by stimulators of hair placode formation. Once a mesenchymal condensate of inductive fibroblasts formed, it controlled subsequent HF organogenesis and epithelial stem cell differentiation. The review highlighted the morphological characteristics, principles, and molecular players in HF development, focusing on recent molecular insights and proposing a working hypothesis.
