miR-29a-5p prevents the formation of early hair structures by targeting a gene important for hair growth and is regulated by a complex network involving lncRNA627.1.
Autologous exosome treatment for hair loss is being discussed as an emerging option. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also mentioned as treatments.
Exosomes are being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with some users skeptical about their effectiveness and stability. There is interest in different types of exosomes, including those derived from centella asiatica, and comparisons are made to other treatments like finasteride.
A user's father experienced hair regrowth and other health improvements after two IV exosome treatments. The user also had four rounds of exosome therapy, noting significant hair regrowth and relief from headaches, but no change in gray hair.
Exosomes are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users reporting initial improvement. One user moved on to using dutasteride and oral minoxidil with positive results.
Adding exosomes to a treatment of dutasteride and minoxidil for hair loss increased hair count by 55% at 6 months and 46% at 1 year compared to the control group. The control group did not receive exosomes or PRP.
