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.
July 2024 in “Acta Histochemica” This study investigates the potential of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells exosome (UCMSC-Exos) to promote hair growth, focusing on its mechanisms of action, though specific results are not reported.

June 2021 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, UCMSC exosomes showed protective effects against cisplatin-induced hearing loss in mice by improving hearing and promoting cochlear tissue repair.
In this study, human hair dermal papilla cells were incubated with varying concentrations of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes or minoxidil, and cell proliferation was assessed, showing significant results compared to the control.
April 2025 in “OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)” This study found that exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells enhanced the growth of human hair dermal papilla cells by promoting cell cycle progression and activating PI3K and Akt-dependent pathways, indicating potential for hair loss treatment.
