    TLDR Exosomal miR-222-3p reduces melanin production in rabbits by targeting the SOX10 gene.
    The study investigates the role of exosomal miR-222-3p derived from dermal papilla cells in inhibiting melanogenesis in melanocytes by targeting the SOX10 gene in rabbits. The findings suggest that miR-222-3p can downregulate SOX10, a critical transcription factor involved in melanocyte development and function, thereby reducing melanin production. This research highlights a potential mechanism for controlling pigmentation, which could have implications for treating pigmentation disorders.
