April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that claudins CLDN1 and CLDN3 are crucial for maintaining proper hair follicle structure in mice, and their dysregulation may lead to telogen hair loss.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that acne lesions and nonlesional skin in mild-to-moderate acne patients showed significant Th17-skewing and increased antimicrobials, suggesting systemic targets like IL-17/IL-23/IL-36 could be therapeutic.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that terminally differentiated effector memory Vδ1T-cells and their cytotoxic activation markers were elevated in alopecia areata patients, suggesting these cells may contribute to its early pathogenesis.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The researchers reported that nicotinic acid normalized excessive sebaceous lipogenesis without affecting basal lipogenesis and suggested potential anti-acne benefits.
In this study, botulinum toxin type A injections reduced the severity of treatment-resistant scalp psoriasis in more patients compared to placebo over a 12-week period.
This thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.
December 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology. Symposium proceedings/The Journal of investigative dermatology symposium proceedings” This article reviews the role of the National Alopecia Areata Foundation in promoting research and collaboration to find treatments or a cure for alopecia areata and reports no clinical results.
January 2017 in “Springer eBooks” This article reviews the classification, pathogenesis, and treatment options for cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings.
January 2016 in “SpringerBriefs in bioengineering” This article discusses the structure and function of the skin's epidermis, detailing its role as a protective barrier and nutrient exchange system, without presenting new research findings.
December 2015 in “Vascular Pharmacology” Hair papilla cells are crucial for blood vessel development in hair follicles, affecting hair growth and loss.
December 2013 in “Research Portal (King's College London)” This article discusses the anatomical and biological aspects of hair follicle stem cells in the bulge region but reports no new research findings.
This study reported that high cholesterol levels were linked to increased prostate cancer risk, while selenium supplementation affected gene expression, suggesting nutritional and clinical factors might influence prostate cancer risk and biology.
December 2012 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” This study found that activating Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in hair follicles is sufficient to induce adipocyte generation in the dermis, affecting both hair follicle stem cell activation and adipocyte differentiation.
December 2012 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study, estradiol was found to increase VEGF expression in cultured dermal papilla cells at physiological levels similar to pregnancy, suggesting that declining estrogen might contribute to female pattern hair loss in older Japanese women.
January 2012 in “heiDOK (Heidelberg University)” In this study, researchers observed that dormant TRP-2+ melanoma cells in bone marrow can interact with CD8+ T cells in tumor-bearing ret transgenic mice, potentially influencing immune responses.
July 2020 in “Bioinformatics and Bioengineering” This study found that multiple genes and pathways, particularly several keratin-associated proteins, may be involved in the molecular pathogenesis of male androgenetic alopecia.
January 2019 in “International Journal of Immunology Research” This study found no significant difference in serum CCL27 levels between patients with alopecia areata and healthy controls, regardless of gender or age.

September 2012 in “Cell & tissue research/Cell and tissue research” In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.
July 2023 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” In this study, researchers analyzed skin tumors from patients with CYLD cutaneous syndrome and found that loss of CYLD function is linked to changes in cellular signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB signaling, and leads to increased secretion of specific extracellular matrix proteins.
April 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study observed that mice lacking epidermal HSD11b1 had increased non-histaminergic itch and changes in skin nerve fibers, potentially linked to higher TSLP expression.
