January 2020 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This study compared the effectiveness of intralesional platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus triamcinolone acetonide in treating alopecia areata over 12 weeks with 40 patients, 16 completing the study in each group. Both treatments showed similar outcomes, but PRP demonstrated a statistically significant earlier response at 8 weeks and had a higher percentage of patients reporting excellent and good responses. Side effects were minimal, with severe pain reported by 3 patients in the PRP group. PRP was found to be a safe and effective alternative to steroids, though the study's small sample size and short follow-up duration necessitated further research.

December 2022 in “The Journal of Dermatology” This study investigated the levels of cell-free DNA in the serum of 20 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) compared to 12 healthy controls. The results showed that HS patients had significantly higher mean serum levels of cell-free DNA (697.4 μg/ml ± 590.2) compared to the control group (307.8 μg/ml ± 237.6), with a P-value of <0.0379. Cell-free DNA levels positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of disease activity in HS, but did not correlate with age or BMI. This suggests that cell-free DNA could be a potential biomarker for HS, reflecting systemic inflammation and possibly linked to the innate immune system's response. Further research is needed to explore its role in disease severity and progression.
