June 2026 in “Strathprints: The University of Strathclyde institutional repository (University of Strathclyde)” The study investigates NF-κB signalling in CYLD cutaneous syndrome (CCS) tumours to identify potential drug targets. Researchers used transcriptomics, proteomics, and single-cell RNA sequencing on patient-derived CCS tumour cells, revealing evidence of non-canonical NF-κB signalling with increased p100 to p52 processing and RelB protein expression. IκB kinase alpha (IKKα) was identified as a candidate target, and a novel IKKα inhibitor (SU1644) was tested on CCS tumour spheroid cultures, showing reduced tumour viability. The findings support the potential use of topical IKKα inhibitors as a preventive treatment for CCS.

March 2025 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” The study within the ALLEGRO clinical trial program assessed 832 patients with alopecia areata (AA) to identify predictors of long-term scalp hair regrowth following ritlecitinib treatment. Key predictors for achieving a SALT score ≤20 at 24 months included baseline SALT score, SALT score at Month 6, non-AT/AU type, duration of AA since diagnosis, and duration of significant scalp hair loss at baseline. These findings indicate that certain patient characteristics can predict treatment outcomes, which may help optimize treatment decisions for AA. However, the predictive models are not yet validated for clinical practice and should not replace professional medical judgment.
