TLDR Injectable exosomal micro RNAs may help regrow hair.
The document reviewed a paper on the use of exosomal micro RNAs derived from dermal papilla cells as a potential injectable therapy for hair loss. The excitement at the Bangkok World Congress highlighted the promising nature of this treatment. The study suggested that these exosomal micro RNAs could mediate hair follicle growth, offering a novel approach to addressing hair loss.
