Core Tip	Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry proteomic analysis was conducted to reveal the commonalities and heterogeneities across the human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes (hADSC-Exos) and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes. A total of 232 common proteins were found in hADSC-Exos and were categorized into 10 functional groups. We have confirmed that hADSC-Exos decrease glycogen synthase kinase-3β expression through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, leading to increased proliferation and migration of dermal papillary cell. Excessive dihydrotestosterone can cause hair loss by shortening the hair growth phase, but hADSC-Exo treatment can reverse this effect. This study suggests that hADSC-Exo plays a role in hair regeneration through cell-to-cell communication via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
