Core Tip	Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that promotes hair loss. Fu et al have demonstrated that exosomes derived from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells stimulate hair follicle regeneration by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway through cell division cycle protein 42. The study by Fu et al underscores the potential of exosome-based therapies as a promising, cell-free approach for treating androgenetic alopecia, thereby advancing regenerative medicine in hair restoration.
