January 2019 in “International journal of biological sciences” This study proposes the miR-22-5p-LEF1 axis as a novel pathway that may regulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation.
December 2023 in “Regenerative therapy” In this review, the authors reported that exosomal miRNA-based therapies showed promising therapeutic effects on nine skin diseases in animal models, with enhanced outcomes observed when using miRNA-overexpressing exosomes compared to natural ones; however, no comparisons to standard treatments were available.
March 2026 in “Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry” This review found that gut microbiota and exosomal microRNAs may collectively impact androgenetic alopecia progression by modulating immune responses and intercellular communication, suggesting new therapeutic possibilities; however, further research is needed to clarify these mechanisms.
