This review discusses the role of natural killer cells in the pathogenesis of blistering diseases and proposes further research on their interaction with the skin, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that adnexal acantholysis does not reliably distinguish pemphigus vulgaris from pemphigus foliaceus, but the level of acantholysis and degree of dyskeratosis serve as distinguishing features among acantholytic disorders.

This study found that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor monotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia showed some clinical benefit over placebo but was linked to a higher incidence of sexual side effects.

Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively than finasteride.

In this study, poly (ɛ-caprolactone)–chitosan–poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous scaffolds used on canine skin wound models were found to significantly accelerate healing rates of excision and burn wounds, without inducing immunogenic reactions.

This study found that a wound dressing made from egg white proteins, polyvinyl alcohol, and 1 mg/ml graphene oxide was most effective in promoting skin wound healing and tissue regeneration.

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This article discusses the roles of pediatrics and dermatology departments at Yale University School of Medicine, but reports no specific clinical results.

In this study, chitosan membranes enhanced melanocyte proliferation and survival by supporting both cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions, unlike polyvinyl alcohol membranes which only facilitated cell-cell interactions.

This review discusses recent progress in PENG-based sensors for non-invasive medical diagnosis and treatment but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Bazhengsan significantly reduced inflammation and hyperplasia in male rats with nonbacterial prostatitis, indicating potential as a treatment for chronic prostatitis.

This study developed a smart PVA-TPE/HA-AMP/SF/ALG wound dressing that shows promise in infected wound healing by providing bacterial resistance, promoting cell proliferation, and modulating inflammation through various signaling pathways, potentially reducing scar formation.

This study found that a spontaneous deletion in the Dsg3 gene of mice leads to hypomorphic desmoglein 3 expression, resulting in severe immunodeficiency, cyclic hair loss, and wasting disease, without causing the blistering typical of pemphigus vulgaris.

This study found a significant association between H. pylori infection and pityriasis versicolor, suggesting that treating H. pylori may benefit patients with recurrent cases who also have dyspepsia.

This review highlights that synthetic biodegradable polymers like PVA, PCL, PLA, PLGA, PU, and PEO/PEG can address the limitations of natural polymers in wound healing, offering improved mechanical properties and slower degradation, thereby enhancing their application as wound dressings.

In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.

This review discusses the composition, preparation, and applications of autologous platelet and extracellular vesicle-rich plasma, highlighting its potential benefits and the need for further research, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a herbal gel containing fenugreek seed extract significantly promoted hair growth on mice after 30 days of topical application.

This study observed that specific dermoscopic features, such as altered pigmentary network and yeast invasion of hair follicles, along with certain histopathological features, assist in diagnosing pityriasis versicolor.

This study observed that dissolving microneedles made from PVP-K90 and HPMC E50, incorporating Oryza sativa L. extract complex, showed enhanced transfollicular skin penetration and maintained safety for keratinocytes, with the P25H5 formulation demonstrating faster dissolution and greater effectiveness.

This study found that a chitosan-based hydrogel containing silver nanoparticles and ibuprofen demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and accelerated wound healing in vivo, suggesting its potential use in wound dressings.

This study found that cedrol-loaded dissolvable microneedles efficiently delivered cedrol to the deep dermis, effectively promoting hair growth in C57BL/6 mice, suggesting a promising strategy for treating hair loss.

In this study, researchers developed a composite paste system using minoxidil-loaded nanoparticles and valproic acid, enhanced by roller-microneedles, which significantly stimulated hair regeneration and perifollicular vascularization in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model, reducing side effects compared to traditional treatments.

This article discusses various treatments for alopecia, including allopathic, homeopathic, and Ayurvedic methods, as well as the traditional use of certain herbs, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with pityriasis versicolor presenting as scalp hypopigmentation, a rare distribution for this fungal infection. Diagnosis was confirmed via Wood's lamp examination and microscopy, and the condition resolved after treatment with topical terbinafine hydrochloride cream.

In this study using a mouse model of Pemphigus vulgaris, researchers found that loss of desmoglein 3 adhesion in hair follicle stem cells triggers a regenerative program restoring stem cell function, requiring Hedgehog pathway suppression.

This study found that all four subtypes of psoriasis were associated with a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases compared to individuals without psoriasis, with variation in the specific autoimmune disorders associated with each subtype.

This case report describes a pregnant woman with pemphigus vulgaris whose condition improved with systemic corticosteroid treatment, highlighting the challenges of managing PV during pregnancy and the importance of intensive monitoring.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman with a rare combination of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus on the scalp, initially misdiagnosed as psoriasis, who achieved clinical remission and hair regrowth with corticosteroid treatment.

Loss of Dsc3 function in the epidermis impaired cell adhesion, leading to blistering and hair loss, which suggests a potential cause of PV-like skin diseases according to this study.
