September 2022 in “Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity” The study demonstrates that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HFMSCs) can alleviate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice by releasing exosomes (Exos) that inhibit pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death. HFMSCs reduced the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and improved cell viability, with the highest efficacy observed at a dose of 400 μg per mouse administered twice a week. The therapeutic effects are suggested to involve the TRAIL and IFN-gamma signaling pathways, highlighting HFMSCs and their Exos as a promising treatment for UC.
