    GlossaryDermal Papilla Cell Exosomes

    tiny vesicles from hair follicle cells that promote hair growth

    Dermal Papilla Cell Exosomes (DPC-Exos) are tiny vesicles secreted by dermal papilla cells, which are specialized cells located at the base of hair follicles. These exosomes play a crucial role in hair growth and regeneration by transferring proteins, lipids, and genetic material to surrounding cells, thereby promoting cellular communication and stimulating hair follicle activity.

      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.

      A user who underwent exosomes treatment for hair loss and reported their experience, with other users discussing the procedure and offering advice. They discussed options such as finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841 and hair transplants.

      community Novel effect of sildenafil (cialis) on hair growth

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 3 years ago
      Sildenafil (Viagra) shows potential for hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulating perifollicular vessel formation. Users discuss the possibility of using Cialis (tadalafil) similarly, noting its benefits and side effects.
