Exosomes Derived From Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Hair Regrowth in C57BL/6 Mice Through Upregulation of the RAS/ERK Signaling Pathway

    Yongcui Mao, Pinyan Liu, Jiayun Wei … Wenbo Meng
    Studysummary This study found that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes improved hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair follicle stem cell stemness through the RAS/ERK pathway, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy for this condition.
