Extracellular Vesicles: Emerging Therapeutics in Cutaneous Lesions
September 2021
in “International Journal of Nanomedicine”
TLDR Tiny particles called extracellular vesicles show promise for treating skin conditions and promoting hair growth.
The document "Extracellular Vesicles: Emerging Therapeutics in Cutaneous Lesions" discusses the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in treating various skin conditions and promoting hair growth. EVs, tiny particles released by cells, play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and can carry bioactive molecules. They can be engineered to deliver specific therapeutic agents to targeted cells. EVs have shown potential in treating dermatological conditions, inflammatory skin disorders, and have been used to construct a multi-antigenic nanovaccine against drug-resistant S.aureus. They also enhance wound healing and have shown promise in treating alopecia. EVs sourced from different cells can promote hair growth by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. However, further research is needed to fully understand the potential of EVs and to overcome challenges related to their isolation, characterization, and large-scale production.

research The novel mechanisms and applications of exosomes in dermatology and cutaneous medical aesthetics
Exosomes, nanoscale vesicles derived from cells, played a significant role in skin health by carrying biomolecules that facilitate communication between cells. They were crucial in both physiological and pathological skin development. Endogenic exosomes influenced skin stability and function, while exogenous exosomes, such as those from stem cells, offered promising new treatments for skin repair, regeneration, and rejuvenation. Understanding the mechanisms of exosomes in the skin microenvironment had the potential to lead to innovative therapeutic methods in dermatology and cutaneous medical aesthetics.
