Aldesleukin can treat certain cancers and increase HIV patient CD4+ counts but often causes severe side effects.

This study found that glucose starvation and hypoxia are physiological triggers of ER stress in in vitro differentiated adipocytes, rather than high concentrations of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, or proinflammatory cytokines.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This study found that knock-down of keratin 15 in various cell lines affected cell spreading, morphology, migration, differentiation, and proliferation, suggesting its role in maintaining the stem cell nature of keratinocytes.

This abstract contains only journal subscription and informational content and does not present any research findings.

The document concludes that treating skin conditions should include psychological care and a multidisciplinary approach is essential for effective management.

The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

This study observed that stem cells from the hair follicle dermis share similarities with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and have potential to form neural-like cells under specific conditions.

This study found that dutasteride significantly reduces the risk of acute urinary retention and surgical intervention in men with benign prostatic enlargement compared to placebo.

This case report describes a hair structure abnormality associated with iron deficiency anemia, which improved after iron supplementation ceased hair loss and corrected the hair shaft abnormality.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

Human hair growth involves active, resting, and intermediate phases, and examining plucked hairs can teach students about hair biology and diseases.

In this study, the average force required to pluck hair was significantly lower in malnourished adults, especially those with kwashiorkor, compared to well-nourished individuals.

This correspondence discusses bias in expert medical testimony within workmen's compensation cases, emphasizing the author's objective approach, but provides no new empirical findings.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with chronic lupus erythematosus who did not improve after receiving eighty doses of gold and sodium thiosulphate.

This study suggests that follicular stem cells in the bulge region are not directly targeted in androgenetic alopecia, based on the consistent presence of cytokeratin 15 across scalp samples from affected patients.

This review discusses the challenges of interpreting observational studies on COVID-19 due to biases from non-representative samples, such as collider bias, and suggests better sampling methods to mitigate these issues.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This review provides a comprehensive guide to serum-free human hair follicle organ culture methods, highlighting research opportunities, standardization efforts, and potential applications without reporting new empirical findings.

This study found that RXRα/RARγ heterodimers are necessary for retinoic acid-induced keratinocyte proliferation in the skin, while normal epidermal maintenance does not require RAR-mediated signaling.

This review discusses the role of 5α-reductase enzymes in androgen action and related disorders, noting that their specific inhibitory drugs show promise for conditions like benign prostatic hypertrophy; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that beard hair medulla cells express an unexpected range of keratins, showing variability and promiscuous behavior in keratin interactions distinct from other hair follicle cells.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with dermatitis, alopecia, and hypotonia who showed dramatic improvement with oral biotin, suggesting a possible defect in biotin absorption or transport.
