In this study of clinical-grade ADMSCs, researchers found that cells expanded in PowerStem MSC1 media exhibited increased negative marker expression, chromosomal abnormalities, and signs of senescence compared to those cultured in StemMACS MSC Expansion Media, suggesting that the latter is more suitable for therapeutic applications.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be helpful in diagnosing the types of noncicatricial alopecia, and alopecia's negative impact on quality of life was highlighted through the correlation with clinical severity.

This paper reports that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic precursors, have a significant negative effect on hair loss.

This study observed that long-term treatment with 5ARIs in men with LUTS/BPH was linked to worsening sexual function, whereas doxazosin alone had minimal negative impact.

This research explores the sociological impact of hair loss, finding that both women and men regard it as a negative experience and employ different strategies to cope with its implications.

This study explores the social and cultural impacts of hair loss, highlighting that it is perceived as a negative or stigmatizing experience by both women undergoing chemotherapy and men with androgenic alopecia.

This report describes a case of scarring alopecia in a 7-year-old girl, highlighting the presence of inflammation without true sclerosis despite normal bone age and negative fungal tests.

In this study, 77% of androgenetic alopecia patients showed hair regrowth with minoxidil treatment, while lower SULT1A1 enzyme activity, ATP concentration, and initial hair density were identified as negative prognostic factors for treatment response.

This study found that finasteride reduced sperm count, motility, and levels of reproductive hormones, indicating negative effects on fertility in albino male rats.

In this study involving 20 patients with androgenic alopecia, monthly platelet-rich plasma injections over six months significantly improved hair loss, increasing the average hair follicular units from 60 to 84 and resulting in negative hair pull tests for 17 patients.

In this study, pregnant women with isolated hypothyroxinemia experienced more asthenia, dry skin, hair loss, fragile nails, vomiting, and anemia, suggesting a negative impact on pregnancy despite treatment.

This case report describes a 4-year-old dog successfully managed for primary hypothyroidism and concurrent Babesia gibsoni infection, treated with thyroxine, Diminazine aceturate, antibiotics, and supportive therapies, resulting in clinical improvement and negative blood smear for Babesia by day 30.

In this study, conducted at the Jordan Clinic in Tehran, smokers and alcohol users who underwent hair transplantation had significantly worse outcomes, such as lower hair density and growth, compared to non-smokers and non-drinkers, highlighting the negative impact of these lifestyle factors on treatment efficacy.

This study found that adults with alopecia go through stages of embarrassment, seeking solutions, and acceptance, influenced by stress, lifestyle, and social factors, resulting in a withdrawn life due to negative body image.

This study found that fibroblast behavior switching between proliferation and ECM deposition is vital for dermal architecture, where cell migration is primarily important for tissue repair during wound healing.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This review highlights that various commonly prescribed medications for chronic conditions may impact male fertility by affecting hormone secretion, sperm production, ejaculation, erectile function, and libido, although conclusive evidence is limited to specific drug groups.

This study reviewed the potential adverse effects of coconut oil on hair and found that its high protein content and greasy texture can cause clogged pores, inflammation, and hair damage if overused, highlighting the importance of careful application to prevent these issues.

This study found that rhesus macaques with inhibited or anxious temperaments had less alopecia, suggesting temperament may influence hair loss in these animals.

This review suggests that while finasteride for male pattern hair loss was previously considered safe, there is now evidence associating 5-α reductase inhibitors with significant sexual and reproductive side effects.

This review discusses recent findings on wound healing with a focus on adipose tissue biology and obesity, but presents no new clinical results.
