Clinical Trial Summary

Many people suffer from alopecia, which is caused by hereditary factors, emotional stress, and psychiatric disorders. There are devastating physical and psychological consequences as a result. Exosomes are isolated from donated human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells and purified using specific processing. Exosomes are unique in that they are derived from stem cells and contain a wide range of growth factors. The latest generation of natural products for treating hair loss is exosomes.

Description:

Exosomes contain a variety of growth factors that are derived from stem cells. As they are so small, they can be hidden in the bloodstream and carry different types of proteins.

The Wnt-β-catenin pathway is thought to play a major role in the pathogenesis of hair loss. The only FDA-approved medications for the treatment of hair loss are minoxidil (a vasodilator) and finasteride (a selective inhibitor of 5α reductase type II and III isoforms). However, these drugs have not been very perfect. Both have been associated with limited efficacy, duration of effect, and several significant side effects. Regenerative medicine using cell products is looking for a way to heal faster and less cost. Present research focus on Exosome efficacy on hairloss.
