May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

June 2026 in “Discover Immunity.” Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising for skin repair and rejuvenation due to their regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This review highlights MSCs from neonatal sources like the placenta and umbilical cord for their availability and scalability. MSCs aid skin repair through paracrine mechanisms, enhancing collagen production, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell growth. Clinical studies, including a meta-analysis of 55 trials with 2,696 patients, show MSCs' safety and efficacy in improving wound healing and skin conditions. Despite challenges like delivery optimization and reduced efficacy over time, MSC-based therapies, including MSC-derived extracellular vesicles and biomaterial-assisted delivery, show potential in regenerative and aesthetic applications.
