February 2015 in “Experimental Dermatology” PPARγ is crucial for skin health but can have both beneficial and harmful effects.
September 2022 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)” The study explored the interactions between dermal papilla cells (DPCs) and hair follicle epithelial cells, focusing on exosome-mediated communication and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway's role in hair growth and androgenetic alopecia (AGA). It highlighted the potential of exosomes derived from different culture methods (2D, 3D, and 3D-oxy) to enhance hair growth by promoting cell proliferation and gene expression. The 3D-oxy-Exos showed the most significant hair growth promotion, suggesting new therapeutic approaches for hair regeneration. The study also emphasized the need for effective treatments for AGA, including drug therapy, hair transplantation, and emerging cellular therapies.
