April 2022 in “Biomedicines” This study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with significant upregulation of miR-371a-3p in testicular tissues and serum, leading to androgen receptor downregulation and decreased spermatogenesis in patients.
November 2024 in “Journal of Translational Internal Medicine” This study found that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes improved hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair follicle stem cell stemness through the RAS/ERK pathway, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy for this condition.
