September 2022 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” The study investigated the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) into dermal papilla cell (DPC)-like cells using extracellular vesicles (EVs) from DPCs activated with osteogenic and adipogenic inducers. The research demonstrated that the CAO1/2 medium, when supplemented with FGF2 and PDGF-AA, enhanced the expression of hair-inductive genes and maintained DPC-specific properties, leading to increased hair-forming activity. The study highlighted the role of specific microRNAs in regulating hair growth and suggested that DPC-EVs could effectively transform ASCs into cells with hair formation activity. This approach showed potential for hair regeneration therapies, offering a novel method for treating hair-related conditions like alopecia. However, the study acknowledged limitations in understanding miRNA expression and the characterization of DPC-EVs, indicating a need for further research.
