March 2022 in “International journal of biological macromolecules” This study found that exosomal miR-181a-5p promotes hair follicle growth and development in vitro by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and suppressing hair follicle stem cell apoptosis.
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.
January 2026 in “Non-coding RNA Research” This study found that low-passage exosomes from dermal papilla cells enhance hair follicle stem cell proliferation and that miR-218-5p may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for hair growth.
April 2024 in “Biomolecules” This review summarizes recent findings on the role of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal microRNAs in skin regeneration and rejuvenation, discussing their potential for treating skin damage and aging, and exploring bioengineering methods to enhance therapeutic effects.
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.
