    TLDR Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes significantly increase hair density and thickness in androgenic alopecia patients.
    The study investigated the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes for treating androgenic alopecia in 85 patients aged 18-55. Over 12 weeks, the treatment group experienced a significant increase in hair density, with a mean rise of 35 hairs/cm² from a baseline of 100 hairs/cm², compared to a negligible increase of 3 hairs/cm² in the placebo group. The results, with a p-value of 0.001, suggest that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes significantly enhance hair density and thickness, presenting a promising treatment option for androgenic alopecia.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
