July 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that Ashwagandha-derived nanovesicles increased cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and growth factor expression in vitro, suggesting they may have potential as a plant-based alternative or complement to current therapies for hair and skin conditions.
May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” In this research, lipidomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses of exosomes from seven Ashwagandha seed batches revealed that Ashwagandha-derived exosome-like nanovesicles can up-regulate VEGF-A production and promote hair growth in human models tested outside the body.
May 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” In this study, researchers conducted a comprehensive analysis of seven Ashwagandha seed exosome lots and found that treatment with these exosome-like nanovesicles can up-regulate VEGF-A production and promote human hair growth in an ex vivo model.
