    TLDR Stem cell and plant exosomes may help heal and regenerate skin.
    Stem cell-derived and plant-derived exosomes are highlighted as promising therapeutic agents for skin healing and regeneration, offering benefits such as immunomodulation, cellular differentiation, and angiogenesis stimulation. These exosomes also play a role in collagen production and remodeling, making them potential treatments for skin aging, hair loss, and other dermatological conditions. This systematic review, conducted over a 20-year period, synthesizes current evidence and outlines the applications of these exosomes in skin repair and cosmetic dermatology, aiming to bridge medical and aesthetic dermatology.

      Exosomes are being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with some users skeptical about their effectiveness and stability. There is interest in different types of exosomes, including those derived from centella asiatica, and comparisons are made to other treatments like finasteride.

      community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 2 years 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.
