Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Generation Methods and a New Perspective in COVID-19 Research

This article reviews the potential of using induced pluripotent stem cells for hair restoration, underscoring their promise over current surgical methods, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses how mesenchymal stromal cell-based therapy holds promise for treating age-related diseases, given its potential to target aging's pathological features, although significant challenges remain for its clinical application.

In this review, the potential role of the hormone prolactin in skin biology and its implications for treating skin diseases and hair disorders are explored, with a focus on its stress-related impacts and possible immunomodulatory function in the context of COVID-19.

This review highlights that skin organoids, advanced three-dimensional models mimicking human skin, are emerging as effective alternatives to traditional culture models and human skin, overcoming limitations of two-dimensional systems and ethical concerns, and are being increasingly used in areas like developmental biology and disease modeling.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential and challenges of using extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells, concluding that they may have a comparable therapeutic potential to the original cells despite current challenges in their application and production.
