research A Japanese case of ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia syndrome with an MBTPS2 mutation
A Japanese patient with IFAP syndrome had a severe MBTPS2 gene mutation but showed milder symptoms than previously observed cases.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research A new tool for conditional gene manipulation in a subset of keratin‐expressing epithelia
The Megsin-Cre transgene is a new tool for genetic manipulation in the skin and upper digestive tract.
research Inflammatory Vegetative Lesions of the Perineum: A Rare and Severe Clinical Presentation of Netherton Syndrome
Netherton Syndrome can cause severe skin lesions in rare cases.
research Alopecia universalis after discontinuation of pegylated interferon and ribavirin combination therapy for hepatitis C: a case report
A man lost all his hair after stopping hepatitis C treatment and it didn't grow back.
research Late unexpected consequences of COVID‐19 infection in survivors of acute hypoxic respiratory failure
After severe COVID-19, 71% of patients experienced excessive hair shedding and thinning within 3 months due to factors like low oxygen levels, medication, stress, and autoimmune disease.
research Severe Hypernatremia as Presentation of Netherton Syndrome
Netherton syndrome can cause severe dehydration, infections, and growth issues in infants.
research Genetics
Certain gene mutations can weaken the skin barrier and, when combined with environmental factors, lead to eczema and severe itching.
research TOC
Understanding drug effects and careful monitoring are crucial for safe and effective dermatology treatments.
research 331 An open label clinical trial of the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib for alopecia areata
Tofacitinib helped over half of the patients with severe hair loss regrow at least 50% of their hair.
research Zinc‐Coordinated Trienzyme Nanogel Cascade Therapy for Accelerated Post‐Pancreatectomy Cutaneous Wound Healing
The zinc-coordinated nanogel therapy speeds up wound healing after pancreas surgery by balancing metabolism and fighting bacteria.
research A Review of Platelet-Rich Plasma: History, Biology, Mechanism of Action, and Classification
Platelet-rich plasma shows promise for skin and hair treatments but needs more research and standardization.
research A genome-wide association scan in admixed Latin Americans identifies loci influencing facial and scalp hair features
Genetic factors influence hair traits like shape, color, and greying in Latin Americans.
research Ichthyosis
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of ichthyosis is crucial for treatment and genetic advice, and ongoing research is needed for better therapies.
research A preliminary observation: Male pattern hair loss among hospitalized COVID‐19 patients in Spain – A potential clue to the role of androgens in COVID‐19 severity
Male pattern hair loss could hint at androgens affecting COVID-19 severity.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Androgen sensitivity gateway to COVID ‐19 disease severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 entry through the ACE2/TMPRSS2 pathway: a promising approach for uncovering early COVID-19 drug therapies
Blocking the virus's entry into cells by targeting certain pathways could lead to early COVID-19 treatments.
research Induction of dark keratinocytes by 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate and mezerein as an indicator of tumor-promoting efficiency
TPA is about 50 times more effective at promoting tumors than MZ.
research Crafting Polymeric and Peptidic Hydrogels for Improved Wound Healing
Advanced hydrogel systems with therapeutic agents could greatly improve acute and chronic wound treatment.
research Lamins in development, tissue maintenance and stress
Lamins are vital for cell survival, organ development, and preventing premature aging.
research The Inflammatory Caspases-1 and -11 Mediate the Pathogenesis of Dermatitis in Sharpin-Deficient Mice
Certain proteins, caspases-1 and -11, are important in the early development of skin inflammation in mice.
research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Skin Keratins
Keratins are important for skin cell health and their problems can cause diseases.
research Advances in nucleoside monophosphate prodrugs as anti-HCV agents
New treatments for Hepatitis C show promise but need more research to confirm their safety and effectiveness for clinical use.
