    TLDR Exosomes from bovine colostrum may be effective for hair growth and slowing hair loss.
    The study investigates the effects of two commercial products containing exosomes on hair growth and regeneration in human hair follicle cultures. One product uses exosomes and proteins from stem cells derived from the umbilical cord lining, while the other contains exosomes from bovine colostrum, loaded with growth factors and cytokines. Results showed that the bovine colostrum-derived exosomes significantly enhanced hair bulb growth and dermal papilla regeneration compared to the stem cell-derived exosomes, which performed similarly to untreated controls. This suggests that exosomes from bovine colostrum could be effective in slowing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.

      community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 1 year ago
      Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.

      in Treatment  538 upvotes 6 days ago
      Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
