Exosomes Are Quietly Replacing Rosemary in Hair Serums—Here's Why
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Rosemary oil had its moment as the buzzy hair growth ingredient for the past year or so, and before that, products infused with castor oil, saw palmetto, and copper peptides popped up on timelines everywhere. However, with the popularity of exosomes in skin care, the best exosome hair serums are increasingly filling the carts of those on a quest to stimulate hair growth, rejuvenate damaged follicles, and boost overall scalp health. Jess Poynter, trichologist and founder of Scalp Haven Hair Studio in Washington, has been paying close attention to exosomes for the past few years. While she typically recommends in-salon exosome treatments as the best way to see the full benefits of the regenerative ingredient, she has come across some exosome hair serums that she confidently recommends for at-home use. But first, Poynter stresses that it's important for shoppers to understand what exosomes really mean for hair and scalp health. 'Exosomes are microscopic messengers. You can think of them as tiny 'envelopes' released by cells to deliver instructions, repairs, and signals to other cells,' she explains. 'In the world of scalp health, they're part of the body's own communication system. They 'whisper' cues that can calm inflammation, support follicle resistance, and guide healthier hair behavior at the root level.' That said, not all exosome-fueled products are created equal. The best exosome hair serums seamlessly fit into a daily hair care regimen, and typically start to show results in about three months. Whether you're looking for a plant or platelet-derived formula, a whole hair care system, or are intrigued by the idea of ashwagandha exosomes, browse the picks ahead to find the best high-tech serum for you. Calecim Professional, a Singapore-based brand that specializes in skin care and hair care driven by stem-cell technology, has Ponyter's stamp of approval. Designed to work over six weeks, its Advanced Hair System is geared toward those with thinning, dry, or brittle hair. Each order comes with a derma stamper, which preps the scalp for maximum absorption; it also comes with six ampoules filled with a serum that contains the brand's signature PTT-6. The patented ingredient is a blend of some 3,000 proteins, which range from growth factors and cytokines to exosomes. In clinical trials, the serum was proven to increase the number of hairs on the scalp, improve the thickness of hair shafts, and boost the number of follicles on the scalp. Key ingredients: PTT-6 Size: 0.17 oz per ampoule, six ampoules are included in each boxOur expert says: 'This has a driver—their stamp tool—that really helps deliver the ingredients. Composed of proteins, hyaluronic acid, and cellular 'mesh' that helps connect everything together, this system can effectively improve regrowth communications.'—Jess Poynte Powered by plant-derived exosomes, Vegamour's pink-packaged Gro Hair serum is a longtime favorite of ELLE editors. One of our top serums for a fuller mane, the product is best used over the course of three months. The vegan formula is made with turmeric and red leaf clover to tame inflammation, copper-infused mung beans to enlarge hair follicles and stimulate growth, and plant stem cells to boost the hair's resilience. Users are particularly keen on the product's non-greasy feel, which makes styling after applying the serum a breeze. There's also an advanced formulation, Vegamour Gro+ Hair Serum, which is specifically designed to target shedding. Key ingredients: Plant-based phytoactives, peptides, plant stem cells Size: 1 oz A reviewer says: 'I love this product because it is not oily like the other topical products out there. I can actually use this in the morning before work, brush it through my hair, and it does not make my hair look greasy or oily. Nor does it make me break out.' Designed to reduce hair breakage and flood the scalp with nutrients, Nutrafol's physician-developed formula comes recommended by Elisha Smith, an international master educator for Balmain Hair Couture and the owner of Pipton beauty boutique in North Carolina. 'Scalp-focused exosome therapy is becoming the go-to for trichologists, facialists, and wellness clinics aiming to treat hair thinning, inflammation, and scalp aging from the root,' she says. For at-home treatments, this is her pick. 'Nutrafol Growth Activator ensures and activates stronger, thicker hair using the power of ashwagandha exosomes, which are 150 times smaller than any other composition on the market, and are therefore able to more effectively penetrate the scalp,' she says. Key ingredients: Ashwagandha exosomes, pea sprouts, Irish moss peptides Size: 1.7 oz Amazon rating: 4.1/5 stars Our expert says: 'Skinification of the scalp is a thing these days, and I'm here for it. Biotech serums like this one are outperforming traditional hair-growth formulas in both data and design.'—Elisha Smith According to Andrea Hui Austin, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in San Francisco, 'Plated Skin Science Hair Serum is the only hair regrowth product to contain platelet-derived exosomes, which are sourced from the body's natural repair system, and are specifically optimized for skin renewal.' Unlike plant-based exosomes. platelet-derived exosomes are naturally compatible with human skin. She adds that this type of exosome has also been clinically proven to improve the health of the hair follicle and promote hair proliferation. Key ingredients: Platelet-derived exosomes, antioxidants, natural extractsSize: 1 oz Plated Skin Science rating: 4.5/5 stars Our expert says: 'This product helps reduce inflammation and stress on the scalp skin and hair follicle, and delivers powerful nutrients that create an ideal environment for hair growth, reduce visible breakage, and enhance moisture retention, hydrating the scalp and leading to fuller, thicker-looking hair.'—Andrea Hui Austin, MD Yes, this is technically a face serum, but according to Poynter, the exosome-fueled salve is also beneficial for hair growth. 'This is composed of ingredients that help to strengthen and feed the delicate hair follicles around the face,' she says. Those ingredients include vitamins E and A, seaweed and kelp, hydrolyzed proteins, and growth factors. Key ingredients: Exosomes, hyaluronic acid, sea kelp, noni fruit, sea lettuce, brown algae, Irish sea moss Size: 1 oz Our expert says: 'This also contains Vitamin D3, which is great for cellular energy production.'—Jess Poynter Designed to support hair growth and density, Musely's prescription-strength hair serum has stem-cell-derived exosomes to reduce inflammation in the scalp and latanoprost to prolong the hair follicles' growth phase. Its other key ingredients include caffeine, which boosts circulation in the scalp, and melatonin to protect the hair follicles from damage caused by stress or environmental factors. The serum should be used nightly, as it's recommended to keep the hair dry for four hours following application, and each bottle contains a three-month supply. To get the prescription, you'll need to have a short online visit with a Musely medical provider; afterwards, the product can be shipped to your door. Key ingredients: Exosomes, latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin Size: 1 oz Musely rating: 4.7/5 stars A Musely reviewer says: 'This serum truly transformed my hair care routine. Its anti-inflammatory benefits soothed my sensitive scalp, and within six months, I saw noticeable new hair growth.' According to Hui Austin, an exosome hair serum—which is essentially a serum powered by the regenerative ingredient—helps stimulate healthy hair growth by facilitating the communication between the body's cells. The best exosome hair serums can also stimulate the hair follicle to transition into its active proliferation cycle, known as the anagen phase, for improved hair growth. Hui Austin says that in addition to stimulating hair growth, the best exosome hair serums can reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation in the scalp while repairing damaged hair follicles. In general, Hui Austin recommends an exosome hair serum to anyone who wants a visibly fuller head of hair. However, there are certain hair types and scalp conditions primed to receive extra benefits from the scientifically advanced serums. 'Exosome hair serums can create the biggest difference for anybody who is suffering from visible hair thinning,' Hui Austin says. 'Conditions such as male- or female-pattern balding also respond very well to exosome-based hair serums.' She adds that other hair-loss conditions, such as autoimmune alopecia areata, hypothyroidism, and stress-induced hair loss, usually require additional medical care. 'Adding an exosome-based hair serum can only be helpful in these conditions to improve hair regrowth as much as possible,' she notes. According to Daniel Gould, MD, PhD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult with their doctors before using an exosome hair serum. 'This is primarily because there are no studies in those types of patients,' he notes. He also recommends that anyone with new-onset hair loss, anyone who is losing hair for medical reasons, or anyone who is on a new medication, should consult with a medical professional before trying an exosome hair serum.

NursesMC is Turning Ninth Graders into Future Nurses
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit If you've tried to schedule a check-up lately or waited a little too long in the ER, you've probably felt the effects of the national nursing shortage. With more than 78,000 nursing jobs currently unfilled across the U.S., it's not just an inconvenience — it's a crisis. And it's no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic put this issue front and center. But in South Nashville, a new public charter high school, NursesMC, is gearing up to address the problem head-on, starting not in hospitals or universities, but in ninth-grade classrooms. Launching this fall, Nurses Middle College Nashville — or NursesMC, for short — offers a radically practical and refreshingly optimistic approach: train the next generation of nurses before they even toss their high school graduation caps. Backed by a $21.7 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies and formed in partnership with TriStar Health and Vanderbilt University Medical Center, NursesMC aims to create a seamless pipeline from high school to healthcare careers. And we're not just talking about future nurses memorizing anatomy terms from a textbook. Starting freshman year, students engage in immersive, hands-on learning experiences at local hospitals. By the time they hit 11th grade, they're interning (and getting paid for it), participating in simulation labs, and working directly with professional mentors. By graduation, they'll walk away with a healthcare certification, 12 college credits, and — unlike many of us at 18 — a clear career direction. Pin Dr. Andrea Poynter, a registered nurse and the Executive Director of NursesMC Nashville, is leading the charge. A Tennessee native with nearly two decades of clinical and teaching experience, Dr. Poynter believes that early, real-world experience is key to closing both opportunity gaps and hospital staffing gaps. 'NursesMC Nashville is here to be more than just a school — we are building a pipeline of future healthcare professionals who reflect the rich diversity of this city and are ready to serve their communities with skill and heart,' she says. 'By preparing students early for careers in nursing and healthcare, we're not only addressing workforce shortages but also strengthening trust between patients and providers, improving health outcomes, and expanding opportunities for families across Nashville.' That focus on diversity is intentional. The school is particularly committed to serving students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. In fact, the original NursesMC campus in Rhode Island, which opened in 2011, has seen enormous success with a student body that is nearly 90% Black, Hispanic, or from low-income communities. According to Dr. Poynter, 'within two years, 95% of past graduates were in the workforce and/or pursuing a higher degree in healthcare.' Nashville's new campus hopes to replicate — and expand upon — that success story. For current eighth graders ready to scrub in early (metaphorically speaking), enrollment is now open for fall 2025. The first class will kick off in August, and parents and students can learn more at ********** Keep up with the best parts of life in the South. Subscribe to StyleBlueprint!

Kari Lake brought back a skeleton crew to Voice of America. They're ‘angry most of the time'
While a federal appeals court appears to have given its blessing to the Trump administration's efforts to completely gut Voice of America, the bare-bones staff that Kari Lake brought back earlier this month has been wracked with low morale and confusion. 'I am angry most of the time I'm in there,' one staffer told Poynter this week. In March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order calling for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA and its sister outlets, to reduce staffing down to the 'statutory minimum.' Lake, the failed Arizona politician who now serves as senior adviser overseeing the agency, subsequently laid off hundreds of contracted employees and placed the rest of VOA's staff on indefinite leave. Following a series of lawsuits from VOA employees and executives, Lake was ordered by a district court judge last month to restore Voice of America and bring back its workforce. Additionally, the judge ruled that the administration needed to reinstate Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. 'Not only is there an absence of 'reasoned analysis' from the defendants; there is an absence of any analysis whatsoever,' Judge Royce C. Lamberth wrote. Earlier this month, however, a three-judge appellate court panel decided to freeze the lower court's injunction, saying it needed more time to consider the merits of the case. On Thursday, the full appellate court said it would not intervene at this time. 'We are devastated and concerned that this ruling might lead to further adverse reactions from the administration,' Patsy Widakuswara, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit and VOA's White House bureau chief for Voice of America, told The Independent about the appeals court decision. 'But our day in court is not over yet, and we are committed to fighting until we can return to our congressionally mandated right to broadcast factual, balanced, and comprehensive new.' After Lamberth's initial order to return Voice of America to the air and staff it back up, a small group of 30 employees – from a staff of 1300 workers on leave – was brought back by Lake earlier this month. In an article for Poynter, Liam Scott – VOA's press freedom reporter until he was placed on leave in March and informed he would be terminated this month – spoke to several of the staffers who returned this month and described the 'grim and confusing' atmosphere in VOA headquarters. 'People who are in there do not see this as some kind of hopeful return,' one employee told Scott. 'I am angry most of the time I'm in there… They can't credibly say that they haven't shut us down when zero people are working,' Prior to the president's executive order, VOA broadcast in 49 languages around the world to a weekly measured audience of roughly 360 million people, some of whom live in highly censored authoritarian states. Now, according to those at the pared-down network, Voice of America's content is only translated into Dari, Mandarin Chinese, Pashto and Persian. 'The amount of programming that's being produced is not a credible replacement for what was on air before,' a staffer said. 'We were a 24/7 news operation. Now we're a five-minutes-a-day, five-days-a-week operation,' another source added. 'We all know that this is not what this place is meant to be doing.' Voice of America's primary English-language newsroom, meanwhile, produces just one television segment and a handful of articles a day, which are then translated into four different languages and published, according to Poynter. Notably, with press freedom experts expressing concern about Kremlin propaganda filling the airspace left vacant by VOA's absence, the network is not publishing in Russian in its current depleted state. At the same time, the small cohort that is currently working to produce what little VOA content they can is still following the network's charter, noting that they haven't received any editorial requests from the agency since returning. Interestingly, despite Lake's recent announcement that VOA had partnered up with MAGA cable channel One America News to provide a news feed, Voice of America has yet to air any OAN content. 'No one's really in charge,' a staffer told Poynter, noting the lack of clear leadership at VOA right now. Mike Abramowitz, the network's director, remains on administrative leave. The Independent has reached out to Lake and the USAGM for comment. While fewer than three dozen employees man the ship, hundreds of other full-time VOA staffers remain on the sidelines and in limbo as they wait to hear from the administration about their fate. All the while, Lake has cut other 'frivolous expenditures' from VOA and its sister broadcasters. In March, for instance, she canceled the agency's contracts to carry reporting from wire services such as Reuters, Associated Press and Agence France-Presse. The media agency also reneged on a 15-year lease for new office headquarters – even though it actually saved the government more than $150 million. Though much of the network's full-time staff remains on administrative leave, such as Widakuswara, hundreds of others have already been told they are gone. Last week, Lake announced that 584 total employees were terminated across the agency, the majority of whom came from VOA. 'We will continue to scale back the bloat at [the agency] and make an archaic dinosaur into something worthy of being funded by hardworking Americans,' she told The Washington Post of the terminations before adding: 'Buckle up. There's more to come.' Widakuswara, meanwhile, bluntly described how she feels that Lake and the administration are treating the VOA staff at the moment. 'My assessment of the situation is that this is just more emotional terror that they're applying to us,' she told The Independent. 'There's no rhyme or reason why they're bringing people back and then kicking them out. To me, it feels like emotional terror to ensure obedience.'

‘Grok, verify': Why AI chatbots shouldn't be considered reliable fact-checkers
At the height of the recent India-Pakistan conflict, a parallel battle unfolded online – a battle of narratives. While independent fact-checkers and the government-run Press Information Bureau scrambled to debunk fake news, unsubstantiated claims, and AI-generated misinformation, many users turned to AI chatbots like Grok and Ask Perplexity to verify claims circulating on X. Here is an example: On May 10, India and Pakistan agreed to cease all military activity — on land, air and sea — at 5 PM. While responding to some user queries the next day, Grok called it a 'US-brokered ceasefire'. However, on May 10, when a user asked about Donald Trump's role in mediating the ceasefire, Grok added some missing context, saying, 'Indian officials assert the ceasefire was negotiated directly between the two countries' military heads. Pakistan acknowledges US efforts alongside others,' presenting a more rounded version of the events. Such inconsistencies demonstrate a deeper issue with AI responses. Experts warned that though AI chatbots can provide accurate information, they are far from reliable 'fact-checkers'. These chatbots can give real-time responses, but more often than not, they may add to the chaos, especially in evolving situations. Prateek Waghre, an independent tech policy researcher, attributed this to the 'non-deterministic' nature of AI models: 'The same question won't always give you the same answer,' he said, 'It depends on a setting called 'temperature'.' Large language models (LLMs) work by predicting the next word amid a range of probabilities. The 'temperature' determines the variability of responses the AI can generate. A lower temperature would mean that the most probable next word is picked, generating less variable and more predictable responses. A higher temperature allows LLMs to give unpredictable, creative responses. According to Waghre, what makes the use of AI bots for fact-checking claims more worrisome is that 'they are not objectively bad.' 'They are not outright terrible. On some occasions, they do give you accurate responses, which means that people tend to have a greater amount of belief in their capability than is warranted,' he said. What makes AI chatbots unreliable? 1. Hallucinations The term 'hallucination' is used to describe situations when AI chatbots generate false or fabricated information and present it as factual information. Alex Mahadevan, director of MediaWise, said AI chatbots like Grok and Ask Perplexity 'hallucinate facts, reflect online biases and tend to agree with whatever the user seems to want,' and hence, 'are not reliable fact-checkers.' 'They don't vet sources or apply any editorial standard,' Mahadevan said. MediaWise is a digital literacy programme of Poynter, a non-profit journalism school based in the US, which helps people spot misinformation online. xAI admits to this in the 'terms of service' available on its website. 'Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and is probabilistic in nature; it may therefore sometimes result in Output that contains 'hallucinations,' may be offensive, may not accurately reflect real people, places or facts, may be objectionable, inappropriate, or otherwise not be suitable for your intended purpose,' the company states. Perplexity's terms of service, too, carry a similar disclaimer: 'You acknowledge that the Services may generate Output containing incorrect, biased, or incomplete information.' 2. Bias and lack of transparency Mahadevan flagged another risk with AI chatbots — inherent bias. 'They are built and beholden to whoever spent the money to create them. For example, just yesterday (May 14), X's Grok was caught spreading misleading statements about 'white genocide', which many attribute to Elon Musk's views on the racist falsehood,' he wrote in an e-mail response to The 'white genocide' claims gained traction after US President Donald Trump granted asylum to 54 white South Africans earlier this year, citing genocide and violence against white farmers. The South African government has strongly denied these allegations. Waghre said that users assume AI is objective because it's not human, and that is misleading. 'We don't know to what extent or what sources of data were used for training them,' he said. Both xAI and Perplexity say their tools rely on real-time internet searches; Grok also taps into public posts on X. But it's unclear how they assess credibility or filter misinformation. reached out to both firms to understand this better, but did not receive any response at the time of publishing. 3. Scale and speed Perhaps the most concerning issue is the scale at which these chatbots operate. With Grok embedded directly into X, AI-generated errors can be amplified instantly to millions. 'We're not using these tools to assist trained fact-checkers,' Waghre said, 'They're operating at population scale – so their mistakes are too.' Waghre also said that these AI chatbots are likely to learn and improve from mistakes, but 'You have situations where they are putting out incorrect answers, and those are then being used as further evidence for things.' What AI firms should change Mahadevan questioned the 'design choice' that AI firms employ. 'These bots are built to sound confident even when they're wrong. Users feel they are talking to an all-knowing assistant. That illusion is dangerous,' he said. He recommended stronger accuracy safeguards – chatbots should refuse to answer if they can't cite credible sources, or flag 'low-quality and speculative responses'. Vibhav Mithal, a lawyer specialising in AI and intellectual property, has a different take. He insisted there is no need to write off AI chatbots entirely since their reliability as fact-checkers depends largely on context, and more importantly, on the quality of data they've been trained on. But responsibility, in his opinion, lies squarely with the companies building these tools. 'AI firms must identify the risks in their products and seek proper advice to fix them,' Mithal said. What can users do? Mithal stressed that this isn't about AI versus human fact-checkers. 'AI can assist human efforts, it's not an either/or scenario,' he said. Concurring, Mahadevan listed two simple steps users can take to protect themselves: Always double-check: If something sounds surprising, political or too good to be true, verify it through other sources. Ask for sources: If the chatbot can't point to a credible source or just name-drops vague websites, be skeptical. According to Mahadevan, users should treat AI chatbots like overconfident interns: useful, fast, but not always right. 'Use them to gather context, not confirm truth. Treat their answers as leads, not conclusions,' he said. Sonal Gupta is a senior sub-editor on the news desk. She runs The Indian Express's weekly climate newsletter, Icebreaker.

Kentucky volunteer group uses decoy accounts to bust child predators
Editor's note: Details of the story may be disturbing to some readers. LANCASTER, Ky. (FOX 56) — Within the last couple of weeks, two men have been arrested and charged after planning to meet with teenage girls in Lancaster who ended up being decoys in a sting operation. The operations were led by a new group that works to track down child predators. According to court documents, 40-year-old Jeffrey Poynter believed he was meeting up with a 14-year-old girl last Saturday after exchanging several messages online. 'They were fully planning on having an intimate moment,' said a volunteer with the group who wished to remain anonymous. Instead, he was met by a representative with a new group called 'KY Predo Poachers.' The volunteer explained to Poynter that it was really them he had been messaging the whole time. 'There are groups like us all over right now,' he said. 'It's truly an epidemic what's going on right now.' Public forum held to address Jessamine County school safety concerns Kentucky's oldest WWII veteran dies at 108 Kentucky volunteer group uses decoy accounts to bust child predators Another volunteer with the group, who wanted to remain anonymous, said they set up decoy accounts on social media sites such as Facebook, posing as underage girls. 'One decoy account in itself currently has 550 friend requests sitting in it in just the last two weeks of older men,' she said. Once a person reaches out, they begin messaging back and forth. Investigators said some of the messages are sexually centered, and some even send nude photos. Group members said they make the age of the decoys clear, but they are sent inappropriate messages anyway. 'So, they know from pretty much the very beginning, within the first few messages, that we are 14, 13, underage girls,' the volunteer added. After about a 45-minute interview, the video shows Poynter was taken away in handcuffs by Lancaster police and put behind bars. Public forum held to address Jessamine County school safety concerns Kentucky's oldest WWII veteran dies at 108 Kentucky volunteer group uses decoy accounts to bust child predators Brandon Hensley, 37, of Georgetown, was also arrested for similar reasons about a week prior. Both face charges, including unlawful transaction with a minor. 'Our whole goal really is to protect children from social media. And the people in social media,' she continued. Group members said they also hope to use their experience to help parents learn how to monitor their children's social media accounts. 'It is really important to make sure that your kids trust you. And they feel like they can open up to you. Really, in the end, that's what it is. You know, that's what we need as parents, is for our children to be able to trust us,' the volunteer concluded. We reached out to the Lancaster Police Department for a response, and the police chief sent back a statement saying, quote, 'While I'm sure their intent may be good, I do not condone any civilian vigilantism.'
