November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Genetic defects in the Wnt/PCP pathway may cause congenital yellow nail syndrome.
November 2024 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” In this study, varying pH levels from 3 to 12 were found to impact hair structure and proteins, with optimal hair health observed between pH 5 and pH 7, while extreme acidic or alkaline conditions notably affected hair morphology and proteome.
October 2024 in “Cosmetics” This study found that while most women reported aesthetic improvement after PRP facial injections, objective skin analyzer data showed no significant changes, but midface volume improvement was more likely in those with lower platelet counts and higher estradiol levels.
August 2024 in “Nutrients” This study found that a combination of probiotic strains of Lactiplantibacillus administered over 16 weeks reduced the number and density of telogen hairs in individuals with androgenic alopecia, while increasing the abundance of Lactobacillus in their gut microbiota.
May 2024 in “International journal of medicine and psychology.” In this study, researchers observed that obese women experienced heightened levels of endogenous intoxication shortly after undergoing a cesarean section, which may point to potential complications. Further research is needed to create effective strategies for preventing and treating post-operative complications in this population.
April 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study on adult-onset, whole body Spry1/2/4 triple knockout mice, researchers observed endocrine abnormalities and no increased tumor incidence, despite similar food intake and motor function.
March 2024 in “Current issues in molecular biology” This literature review explores the role of biomarkers in personalized medicine for various dermatological conditions like Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Psoriasis, and Atopic Dermatitis, highlighting how they guide targeted therapies and the limitations of current markers in specificity, as reported by the authors.
March 2024 in “Cirugía y Cirujanos (English Edition)” In this study, researchers observed that all kidney transplant patients at a Mexico City hospital developed at least one type of skin condition, with infectious dermatoses being the most common. The authors recommend dermatological assessments before transplantation to manage dermatoses, potentially reducing related health risks.
February 2024 in “Agroèkoinfo” This study examined the relationship between environmental factors and androgenic alopecia among residents in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, finding significant correlations between the concentration of chemical elements in hair and consumption of grain products, but minimal correlation with soil trace elements.
