    TLDR Hair follicle-derived extracellular vesicles may help heal chronic wounds as effectively as those from adipose tissue.
    The study investigates the therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from hair follicle mesenchymal stromal cells (HF-MSCs) for chronic wound healing. Researchers isolated and characterized medium-large EVs (m-lEVs) and small EVs (sEVs) from HF-MSCs and compared them to EVs from adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AT-MSCs). Both HF-EVs and AT-EVs expressed typical MSC-EV markers and increased human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) proliferation and migration, enhanced angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and protected HDFs from oxidative stress and cytotoxicity in a hyperglycemic environment. The findings suggest that HF-EVs have comparable regenerative potential to AT-EVs, making them promising candidates for chronic wound treatment.

      A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.
