This study reports a unique case of common variable immunodeficiency with autoimmunity linked to a heterozygous S250C variant in the autoimmune regulator gene, suggesting a potential molecular basis for this combination.

This case report describes how a treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone may be effective in managing autoimmune subepidermal blistering dermatosis in dogs while allowing for steroid reduction.

This study suggests that the rs2075876 variant in the AIRE gene may significantly increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the examined male population.

This study suggests that vitamin D treatment may be less effective in reducing thyroid autoimmunity for euthyroid men with early-onset androgenic alopecia compared to other men with autoimmune thyroiditis.

This study found that Meth-A cells induced alopecia in mice, but this effect was blocked by a protein kinase inhibitor, suggesting immunological mechanisms involving lymphokine-activated killer cells.

This case report describes a patient with lamotrigine-associated drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome requiring prolonged and complex treatment, with observed complications including extensive alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroiditis.

This review discusses autoimmune skin disorders, including lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, and their common treatments, reporting no new clinical results.

This case report documents the development of vitiligo-like lesions in a patient with autoimmune thyroiditis following the use of topical squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia.

This review discusses the correlation between vitiligo and various autoimmune, systemic, and dermatological diseases, highlighting the need to increase awareness of these comorbidities.

This review found a significant immunological link between diffuse alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, highlighting the importance of early recognition and thyroid function evaluation to improve clinical management and avoid diagnostic delays.

This case study identified a 22-year-old patient with multiple autoimmune syndrome type 3, involving lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroiditis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo.

This article is a special issue that reviews current research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of systemic autoimmune diseases, but it does not present new results.

This study found that mechlorethamine restored hair growth in mice with alopecia-areata-like disease by eliminating infiltrated lymphocytes and inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines in treated skin areas.

This case study details a 44-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus who developed hypereosinophilic asthma and was initially treated as ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Her condition, eventually classified as HASM, underscores the need for evaluating EGPA-spectrum disorders in similar scenarios.

This study found that while cyclophosphamide remains effective for severe autoimmune conditions, it is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, infections, some cases of irreversible amenorrhoea, and a higher risk of malignancies, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring.

This article examines anticytokine therapies for autoimmune diseases, highlighting the potential of anti-interferon-γ as a universal treatment for certain conditions and noting varying effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors.

This review explored the relationship between alopecia areata and gut microbiota imbalances, noting potential immune dysregulation due to microbiome alterations. It highlighted promising results from fecal microbiota transplantation in treating alopecia universalis, indicating a need for further research into microbiome-targeted therapies.

This study reports the successful management of acute liver failure in a 25-year-old woman with concurrent Hepatitis B and autoimmune hepatitis, using a combination of steroids, azathioprine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

This study provides a framework for understanding different types of alopecias based on immune privilege collapse at specific follicular sites, revealing distinct patterns in immune effector programs and stromal influences depending on the alopecia type.

This review discusses the role of the JAK-STAT pathway in autoimmune skin diseases and suggests potential therapeutic benefits of JAK inhibitors, but reports no new experimental results.

This study reviewed the role of inflammasomes in autoimmune skin diseases, highlighting their contribution to the pathogenesis of conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia areata, and psoriasis, and suggesting that targeting inflammasome dysregulation may offer new therapeutic options.

This case report describes a 15-year-old female whose initial systemic lupus erythematosus manifestations were fever and rash appearing separately, illustrating diagnostic challenges between SLE and infection.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

This study found that stress-induced signaling from the sympathetic nervous system in mice led to the depletion of stem cells in hair follicles, resulting in premature greying.

This article reviews the role of the JAK-STAT pathway in inflammatory skin diseases and considers the therapeutic benefits of JAK inhibitors, presenting them as promising treatments but reports no new experimental results.

This case report describes a rare patient with Sjogren's syndrome who experienced recurrent pneumothorax, resolved through surgical intervention, highlighting pneumothorax as an unusual complication of the condition.

In this case report, two patients with polyautoimmunity and difficult-to-treat lupus erythematosus experienced significant symptom improvement after adding anifrolumab to their regimen, suggesting its potential as an effective add-on therapy for refractory cutaneous symptoms in autoimmune conditions characterized by elevated interferon alpha activity.

This study introduces stem cell activity as a key factor influencing the effects of IFN-γ and TGF-β1 on autoimmune disease dynamics, showing that varying cytokine levels can modulate stem cell activity and immune privilege, impacting tissue regeneration and disease flares.

This study reports a case of constrictive pericarditis associated with COVID-19, highlighting the need for imaging, biomarkers, and histology for effective evaluation and treatment decisions.

This case report details a Taiwanese woman with scleredema adultorum and diabetes mellitus experiencing loss of eccrine glands, which led to frequent heat strokes and anhidrosis despite treatment.
