Abstract
Androgenetic alopecia is a common type of hair loss, which is generally influenced by genetic factors and systemic androgens resulting in follicular miniaturization.1 It can cause cosmetic problems leading to psychological distress among affected men and women. Effective standard medical treatments available are topical minoxidil 2 to 5%, oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, and hair transplantation.1 However, some patients do not achieve favorable results with standard treatments. For these reasons, other novel treatments have been developed, including new medications, regenerative medicines (autologous platelet-rich plasma, adipose-derived stem cells, micrograft generation, and exosome), and low-level laser therapy.

Exosome-like vesicles released from ob/ob mouse adipose tissue enhance cell survival of cells with radiation-induced genomic instability. JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2023; 64:352-357.

Abstract
Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is a serious risk factor for cancer development. While the underlying mechanisms between obesity and cancer are still unknown, obesity disrupts the role of adipocytes in energy homeostasis, and the alteration of adipokine, insulin and sex steroid signaling. Recently, it has been identified that adipose tissue-derived exosome-like vesicles (ELVs) regulate metabolic homeostasis. In this study, we collected ELVs from adipose tissue of an obese mouse (ob/ob) strain and control mouse (C57BL/6) strain, and checked whether adipose ELVs influence radiation-induced cell death on mouse fibroblast cells (m5S). Furthermore, we analyzed the micronucleus (MN) frequency in survived cells after radiation exposure to investigate the effect of ELVs on radiation-induced genomic instability. We first observed that ELVs from control and obese mice showed enhanced colony forming ability in un-irradiated m5S cells. However, enhanced survival was observed only in 3 Gy-irradiated m5S cells with obese ELV treatment. Despite no ELV effect on colony size, interestingly, the frequency of MN in survived m5S cells after 3 Gy irradiation was elevated when treated obese ELVs compared to control ELVs. These results suggested that obese mouse adipose ELVs could enhance the survival of irradiated cells harboring increased radiation-induced genomic instability.

Abstract
Radiation therapy is widely used as the primary treatment option for several cancer types. However, radiation therapy is a nonspecific method and associated with significant challenges such as radioresistance and non-targeted effects. The radiation-induced non-targeted effects on nonirradiated cells nearby are known as bystander effects, while effects far from the ionising radiation-exposed cells are known as abscopal effects. These effects are presented as a consequence of intercellular communications. Therefore, a better understanding of the involved intercellular signals may bring promising new strategies for radiation risk assessment and potential targets for developing novel radiotherapy strategies. Recent studies indicate that radiation-derived extracellular vesicles, particularly exosomes, play a vital role in intercellular communications and may result in radioresistance and non-targeted effects. This review describes exosome biology, intercellular interactions, and response to different environmental stressors and diseases, and focuses on their role as functional mediators in inducing radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE).
