April 2020 in “American Journal Of Pathology” The document reviewed the complex phenomenon of skin aging, identifying it as a degenerative disease influenced by intrinsic and environmental factors, leading to issues like atrophy, fragility, defective repair, and reduced immunity. It highlighted the roles of stem cell dysfunction and genetic and epigenetic factors in skin aging, which also affected the microbiome and cancer development. Key changes in aged skin included altered keratinocyte and melanocyte distribution, reduced collagen and elastin, fibroblast structural changes, and increased matrix metalloproteinases, contributing to collagen breakdown. Aged skin also showed reduced immune function and increased susceptibility to infections. The review emphasized the need for future research to develop strategies to mitigate skin aging effects and improve public health strategies.

November 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” The study investigated the effects of two commercial products containing exosomes on hair growth and regeneration using human hair follicle cultures. One product contained exosomes from stem cells derived from the umbilical cord lining, while the other used exosomes from bovine colostrum loaded with growth factors and cytokines. Results showed that the bovine colostrum-derived exosomes significantly enhanced hair bulb growth and dermal papilla regeneration compared to the stem cell-derived exosomes, which performed similarly to untreated controls. This suggests that exosomes from bovine colostrum, enriched with growth factors and cytokines, could be effective in slowing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.
