This study found that sebum free fatty acids may enhance the antibacterial defense of human sebaceous glands by upregulating the expression of the antimicrobial peptide hBD-2, potentially aiding in acne treatment.

This case report describes an 18-year-old male with kerion celsi from Trichophyton tonsurans infection whose condition improved with terbinafine treatment, and highlights that although IL-17A expression increased in skin lesions, it was associated with disrupted antimicrobial peptide expression and severe inflammation, causing tissue damage.

This study found that sphinganine may improve scalp health, hair quality, and reduce hair loss in males, potentially due to increased antimicrobial peptide levels and inhibition of 5-α-reductase.

This article provides clinical snippets from Experimental Dermatology and reports no new research findings.

R-spondin2 may help treat hair loss, gene differences could explain baldness, a peptide's regulation is linked to psoriasis, B-defensin gene copies may affect a skin condition's risk and severity, and potential markers and targets for alopecia areata were identified.
