    TLDR Combining specific proteins and cell-derived particles may help treat hair loss.
    This study introduces a novel approach for hair regeneration by combining dermal papilla cell-derived exosomes (DPC-Exos) and collagenous sequences of Human a1(XVII) Chain (CS-COL17A1), which together enhance hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) activity. The research identifies the hsa-novel-238a-CASP9 axis as a crucial regulatory mechanism, suggesting it as a promising target for therapeutic interventions. The combined application of DPC-Exos and CS-COL17A1 significantly improves HFSC migration and proliferation, offering potential for innovative treatments for hair loss. However, the study's findings are primarily based on in vitro experiments, necessitating further validation in vivo.

      community Exosomes 2 months before and after

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 8 months ago
      Exosomes are being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with some users skeptical about their effectiveness and stability. There is interest in different types of exosomes, including those derived from centella asiatica, and comparisons are made to other treatments like finasteride.

      community Exosomes + Topical Minoxidil (9-months progress and details)

      in Progress Pictures  4 upvotes 11 months ago
      The user shared their 9-month progress using exosomes and topical minoxidil for hair loss, concluding that minoxidil was more effective for them than exosomes. They plan to continue using minoxidil and have started finasteride while managing dandruff with salicylic acid.
