This article presents a case study of a patient suffering from hair thinning associated with PCOS, treated with intravenous and subdermal injections of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs). Remarkably, following treatment, the patient's 14-year history of menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalances completely resolved, alongside the disappearance of ovarian cysts, with these improvements persisting for well over a year.

Further exploration is underway, actively seeking additional PCOS patients to ascertain whether similar therapeutic effects are reproducible or if this case represents an anomaly.

In this report, we present the outcomes of a patient managed with in vitro expanded human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) transplantation facilitated by a nanocomposite gel (NC gel) sheet over 16 years. A 40-year-old male patient who presented with signs of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty underwent HCEC transplantation. Additionally, HCECs were obtained from a deceased donor, cultured in vitro, and transplanted onto an NC gel sheet as a temporary scaffold to support the transplanted cells until engraftment. At the 16-year follow-up, the cornea had remained stable and did not exhibit active disease manifestations. Notably, no new bullae were formed, and the epithelial surface appeared smooth without signs of active fluid transport abnormalities. Although a slight reduction in corneal thickness was observed, the disease-free region at the time of the intervention remained transparent. HCEC transplantation with NC gel sheets is a promising, minimally invasive approach for achieving long-term corneal stability in cases of bullous keratopathy following corneal graft failure. Importantly, this technique circumvents the need for complex procedures and utilizes corneal endothelial precursors derived from donor corneas discarded for lack of sufficient endothelial cells. After in vitro culture, these cells were successfully transplanted in three patients, proving that one donated eye can be useful in treating three eyes of three patients.
