In this study, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes were found to promote the growth of human hair dermal papilla cells, partly by enhancing AKT-dependent signaling pathways, suggesting a potential role in treating hair loss.
This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly enhanced the viability, as well as the expression of alkaline phosphatase and versican, in human hair dermal papilla cells compared to controls.
