research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance – A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
research Janus Kinase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Severe Alopecia Areata: An Open-Label Comparative Study
Both ruxolitinib and tofacitinib are effective and safe for treating severe alopecia areata, but relapses are common.
research Effect of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofiber Matrices Cocultured With Hair Follicular Epithelial and Dermal Cells for Biological Wound Dressing
PHBV nanofiber matrices help wounds heal faster when used with hair follicle cells.
research Topical Janus kinase inhibitors: A review of applications in dermatology
Topical JAK inhibitors may help treat some skin conditions but need more research.
research Compartmentalized organization: a common and required feature of stem cell niches?
Compartmentalized organization might be crucial for stem cells to effectively respond to growth or injury.
research Bacteria induce skin regeneration via IL-1β signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research Trichodysplasia of immunosuppression treated with oral valganciclovir
Oral valganciclovir improved a patient's skin condition caused by immunosuppression.
research Transient Efficacy of Tofacitinib in Alopecia Areata Universalis
Tofacitinib temporarily regrew hair in a man with alopecia, but its effects didn't last.
research Current management strategies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
The document concludes that treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma should be customized to each patient's disease stage, balancing benefits and side effects, with no cure but many patients living long lives.
research The efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors for alopecia areata: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies
Oral JAK inhibitors are effective and safe for treating alopecia areata but may need ongoing use to keep results.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-androgenic and Anti-hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Pathophysiology of the Behçet's Disease
Behçet's Disease may be caused by genetic and environmental factors leading to abnormal immune responses, and stress management and new treatments could improve patient outcomes.
research The Role of Vitamin D in Non-Scarring Alopecia
Low vitamin D might be linked to certain types of hair loss, and supplements could help, but more research is needed.
research Therapeutic Potential of Patient iPSC-Derived iMelanocytes in Autologous Transplantation
Patient-derived melanocytes can potentially treat vitiligo by restoring skin pigmentation.
research MicroRNAs in the skin: role in development, homoeostasis and regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research Hair physiology and its disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Enhanced remyelination during late pregnancy: involvement of the GABAergic system
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.
research Regulatory T cells are required for normal and activin‐promoted wound repair in mice
Regulatory T cells are essential for normal and improved wound healing in mice.
research Medication-Induced Repigmentation of Gray Hair: A Systematic Review
Some medications might reverse gray hair, especially those that reduce inflammation or stimulate pigment production, and vitamin B might help.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research MicroRNA in skin diseases
Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
research Skin diseases associated with hepatitis C virus: Facts and controversies
Hepatitis C virus can cause skin diseases and dermatologists play a crucial role in identifying these conditions.
research Mind the Gap: Sex Bias in Basic Skin Research
The document concludes that there is a significant lack of reporting on the sex and age of cells in skin research, which could affect clinical trials and treatments.
research Harnessing the Power of Regenerative Therapy for Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata
Regenerative therapies show promise for treating vitiligo and alopecia areata.
research Pregnancy and Skin
