<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Androgenetic alopecia has been a stressful condition for the patients and treating dermatologists alike. With the advent of stem cell therapy in various diseases, and lot of controversies and ethical issues related to it, mesenchymal stem cells MSC have passed the acid test successfully, though with many challenges. Since the stem cells in the hair follicle bulge and the dermal papilla play an important role in hair cycle and growth, introducing an external source of neonatal mesenchymal stem cells seems to be a possibility in the treatment of AGA. Aims: To know the benefits and safety of stem cell treatment in patients who underwent mesotherapy with neonatal MSC in order to establish the safety and efficacy in the treatment of AGA.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> We collected data of 40 patients treated with mesoinjections of commercially prepared neonatal MSC, with AGA of grade 2 to 7. Before and after photographs, Patient (PtGA) and Physician (PGA) Global assessment scores were used to evaluate the treatment response.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> We found that 70% of the patients showed a mild response and 25% of them showed a moderate improvement in the hair growth and reduction in hair loss after 4 sittings of monthly duration. One subject showed an improvement of 72%. Patients had 6 month follow up. No major adverse events were observed.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Since this is an observational study, large randomized controlled studies, with longer follow ups is recommended to make MSC therapy a novel treatment option for AGA. </p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Mesenchymal stem cells, Mesotherapy, Androgenetic alopecia

Abstract Objectives Stem cell treatment is based on Melatonin which is crucial for lots of pathological and physiological pathways. Our aim is determining the most appropriate dose of melatonin affecting the rat adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells. Methods Stem cells were isolated from male rat adipose tissue. Differentiation and characterization experiments were performed. Cell viability analyses in stem cells were used the XTT [2,3-Bis-(2-methoxy-4-Nitro-5-Sulfophenyl)-2H-Tetrazolium-5-Carboxanilide] assay. After 24 h incubation, different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5, 10, 50 µM) of extract were treated to the stem cells for 24 h, 48 and 72 h considering time and dose dependent manner. Total antioxidant status (TAS) and the total oxidant status (TOS) in control cells and melatonin treated cells (5, 10 µM) were determined Rel Assay commercial kits. Results In 24 h, melatonin increased cell viability in all groups. When we evaluate the effect of melatonin in 48 h, the most proliferation increase was seen at 5, 10 µM doses. When the total oxidant activity melatonin was found to be significantly lower in 5 and 10 µM dose groups of melatonin. Conclusions Melatonin increases the survivor of stem cells and the most effective dose is 5 and 10 µM. The reduction of the oxidative stress index as a result of treating melatonin to mesenchymal stem cells showed that melatonin is a powerful antioxidant for stem cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells and can be isolated from many tissues of the body. Due to their potentials to treat various diseases and be applied in animal breeding, MSCs have been isolated and identified regarding their biological properties. Common hippos (Hippopotamus amphibius) are a vulnerable species and yet the cryopreservation of their genetic materials is scare. In this study, we successfully established two MSC lines (UC-MSCs and AT-MSCs) from the umbilical cord and adipose tissue of a neonatal common hippo and comparatively described their features. Both UC-MSCs and AT-MSCs showed fibroblastoid morphology and could be continuously passaged for over 17 passages without dramatic signs of senescence. The cell cultures had normal chromosome composition, say, 17 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of X chromosomes. UC-MSCs and AT-MSCs displayed similar gene expression profiles. They were positive for CD45, CD73, CD90 and CD105 and negative for HLA-DR. They demonstrated stemness maintenance by expression of classical stem cell markers. UC-MSCs and AT-MSCs manifested different differentiation potentials into other cell lineages. In summary, these two cell lines demonstrated the essential properties of mesenchymal stem cells and might play a role in the future research.

Background: In Mexico there are 17% of women of reproductive age with infertility problems, equivalent to 1.4 million couples who need assisted reproductive techniques; 9 to 24% of these patients present low ovarian response, mainly in women older than 38 years, due to ovarian aging. Objective: To design a human method to administer autologous adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells directly into the ovaries to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of ovarian rejuvenation and point the way for the development of future therapies. Method and Result: We present a case of a 39-year-old woman, classified as low or suboptimal ovarian response. included in group 2, subgroup 2a, of the Poseidon criteria; to which a human method was designed to administer autologous adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) directly into the ovaries prior to ovarian stimulation; under written informed consent to the patient; It was carried out in a procedure where 14 oocytes were obtained, which were fertilized with donor semen (normozoospermic) and a biopsy was performed of three blastocysts obtained, to carry out a preimplantation genetic study that reported an euploid embryo; This is placed in the mother’s uterus in order to achieve pregnancy and a healthy newborn. Once transferred to the mother, the euploid blastocyst, the human gonadotropin hormone beta subunit test was positive 6572mUI / mL and it was completed, obtaining a male newborn obtained by caesarean section at 39.2 weeks of healthy gestation with adequate evolution. Conclusions: Stem cell therapy obtained from bone marrow is an alternative for women with low ovarian response to achieve pregnancy, by improving the quality of oocytes; it is the first report in Mexico, in women with low idiopathic ovarian response.

Adult stem cells derived from all possible sources of livestock serve as the best possible alternative to embryonic stem cells. The discovery of mesenchymal stem cells has provided the new horizon to stem cell therapy. Adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSCs), an easy source of adult stem cell has created a lot of interest among researchers as patient specific treatment and autologous transplantation in animals is becoming a viable option. The proposed study was carried out for 1) isolation of ADSCs from dogs, suffering from hip dysplasia or from paraplegia, 2) ADSC characterisation and in vitro differentiation ability into osteocytes, chondrocytes, adipocytes and neurocytes specific cells. Adipose tissues were collected from belly/umbilical cord region. ADSCs were isolated by enzymatic digestion method followed by enriching through a 41 μm filter. Filtered cells were then resuspended in cell culture flasks containing growth enriching medium and cultured in 5% CO2 in air at 37°C for 5 days. ADSCs were characterised by amplification of mesenchymal stem cell specific markers i.e. CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD166 and by immunocytochemistry of mesenchymal stem cell specific protein i.e. CD44 and CD90. ADSCs were further in vitro differentiated. ADSCs derived osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes were validated through the amplification of specific markers of osteocytes (Osteopontin, Collagen I); chondrocytes (Aggrecan and Collagen II) and adipocytes (LPL, PPARα, PPARγ). Dog ADSCs were further autogenic transplanted into hip dysplasia and paraplegic patients. These patients recovered well one month from transplantation and were able to move freely. It may be concluded that these findings may have implications for defining the physiological roles of ADSCs in arthritis; orthopaedic ailments, joint regeneration, neuronal disorders, and several other applications leading to novel therapeutic opportunities.
