May 2020 in “Stem Cell Research & Therapy” In this study, human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes significantly accelerated cutaneous wound healing in rats by modulating the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway.
November 2024 in “Journal of Translational Internal Medicine” This study found that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes improved hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair follicle stem cell stemness through the RAS/ERK pathway, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy for this condition.

May 2019 in “Cells” This review discusses the advancements in intraoperative stem cell therapies and highlights their potential to improve hair regrowth, but it reports no new clinical results.
April 2026 in “Journal of Biomedicine and Translational Research” In this study, exosomes from hypoxia-conditioned mesenchymal stem cells significantly improved SOCS3 and STAT3 expression in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting they may offer a more effective therapeutic approach than minoxidil by restoring follicular homeostasis.
