    TLDR Extracellular vesicles can help treat skin issues like wounds, hair loss, aging, and inflammation.
    Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial in maintaining skin tissue homeostasis by delivering bioactive molecules to target cells, influencing processes like cellular proliferation and immune responses. Recent research has explored their roles in skin physiology and diseases, highlighting their therapeutic potential in areas such as wound healing, hair growth, aging, and inflammatory conditions. The document discusses the biogenesis, composition, and uptake of EVs, as well as the challenges in translating these findings into clinical dermatology, suggesting future research directions to advance EV-based therapies.
