May 2026 in “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules” The study developed an injectable hydrogel composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate, and hyaluronic acid to deliver Poria cocos extracellular vesicles (PCEVs) for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). This hydrogel effectively localized and preserved the vesicles within hair follicles, promoting sustained release. In a DHT-induced AGA mouse model, the PCEV-loaded hydrogel significantly improved hair regrowth, follicle density, and dermal thickness by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. The treatment upregulated differentiation markers and downregulated stem-cell quiescence markers, reversing stem-cell quiescence and promoting follicular regeneration. This approach offers a scalable and stable strategy for hair loss treatment.
