TLDR Exosomes from fat-derived stem cells may help regrow hair.
The study retrospectively analyzed the effects of exosomes derived from adipose-derived stem cells on hair loss in 39 patients. The findings suggest that these exosomes may have a positive impact on hair regrowth, indicating a potential therapeutic approach for treating hair loss. Further details and data supporting these conclusions are available from the corresponding author upon request.
