TLDR Extracellular vesicles could help treat hair loss by influencing hair growth cycles.
The document discussed the potential role of extracellular vesicles in alopecia treatment, highlighting their function as intercellular communicators carrying proteins, lipids, DNA, and RNA. These vesicles were considered for therapeutic approaches due to their lower risk compared to invasive cell-based therapies. Hair follicles, which cycle through resting, growing, and regression phases, contain epithelial stem cells influenced by molecules carried by extracellular vesicles. The study suggested that understanding the signaling role of these vesicles in hair cycling could be crucial for developing future alopecia treatments.
