    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.
