    Studysummary In this study, fisetin applied to the dorsal skin of mice activated hair follicle stem cells through exosome secretion from keratinocytes, promoting hair growth. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The study suggests that fisetin, a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables, can promote hair growth in mice by inducing the secretion of exosomes that activate proteins and cells in hair follicles, leading to their proliferation. Exosomes derived from keratinocytes treated with fisetin could be a promising delivery method for hair growth-promoting agents.
