Regenerative Medicine and Hair Loss: To Exosome or Not to Exosome

    TLDR Exosomes might be a promising new treatment for hair loss.
    The article "Regenerative Medicine and Hair Loss: To Exosome or Not to Exosome" discussed the potential of exosomes in treating hair loss. Basic science suggested that exosomes could promote hair growth by delivering growth factors and signaling molecules to hair follicles. Clinical data showed promising results, with some studies reporting increased hair density and thickness in patients treated with exosomes. However, the FDA had not yet approved exosome-based treatments for hair loss, citing the need for more rigorous clinical trials. Skeptics raised concerns about the variability in exosome preparations and the lack of standardized protocols. The author concluded that while exosomes held potential, more research was needed to establish their efficacy and safety in hair loss treatment.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 1 week ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      The conversation covers aggressive hair regrowth treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. It also mentions PRP, laser therapy, GHK-Cu injections, and hormone therapy for maximum regrowth.

      community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?

      in Research/Science 6 months ago
      Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
