    GlossaryCell Therapy

    involves administering live cells to treat or prevent diseases

    Cell Therapy, also known as Cellular Therapy or Cell-based Therapy, involves the administration of live cells to a patient to treat or prevent a disease. These cells can be derived from the patient (autologous) or a donor (allogeneic) and are often used to regenerate damaged tissues, modulate immune responses, or deliver therapeutic agents directly to affected areas. This approach is being explored for a variety of conditions, including certain types of alopecia, where stem cells or other cell types may help stimulate hair growth and repair hair follicles.

      community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 2 years ago
      Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
