    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.

      in Treatment  14 upvotes 5 years ago
      Procyanidin B2, a compound derived from Annurca apples, as a potential treatment for pattern hair loss. Several clinical studies were mentioned, which found that procyanidin B2 could increase hair growth, density, and keratin content. Other treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 were not discussed.

      community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

       173 upvotes 6 years ago
      Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
