November 2022 in “Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity” The study demonstrates that exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells (DPC-Exos) enhance hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) proliferation and inhibit apoptosis through the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway. Using a coculture system, it was observed that DPCs promote HFSC proliferation, indicated by increased PCNA protein levels. The overexpression of Wnt3a in DPC-Exos upregulated downstream genes in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, enhancing HFSC proliferation and reducing apoptosis. These findings suggest potential applications in molecular breeding of Angora rabbits and treatments for human hair disorders.

January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
