March 2025 in “HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)” This thesis investigates the underlying mechanisms and treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the molecular roles of androgens and genetic predispositions, and evaluates current and emerging therapies, such as PROTACs and Janus Kinase inhibitors, to enhance patient management.
In this review, researchers evaluated 111 studies on the biological activities and phytochemical components of the plant Tridax procumbens, emphasizing its ethnobotanical potential and the need for more research to understand its therapeutic benefits, especially in its native tropical regions.
January 2025 in “Open Life Sciences” This study observed that transgenic mice with overexpression of HE4 developed keratitis and severe corneal opacity, suggesting that HE4 may significantly influence keratopathy and inflammatory responses in the eye.
January 2025 in “Multimedialen Archiv und Publikationsserver der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel)” In this study, human gingival mesenchymal stem cells responded differently to inflammation mediated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) compared to cytokines; oxLDL significantly reduced cell proliferation but had less negative impact on differentiation characteristics.
January 2025 in “RSC Pharmaceutics” Smart microneedles using advanced tech could improve psoriasis treatment.
November 2024 in “Cureus” This study found that in Saudi female medical students, dermatological features like acanthosis nigricans and skin tags, as well as polycystic ovary syndrome, are associated with increased waist circumference, an indicator of insulin resistance.
November 2024 in “PubMed” This study found that carboxytherapy significantly improved skin wrinkles, laxity, and pigmentation among 28 patients with skin aging on the abdomen, accompanied by increased epidermis and dermis thickness and no significant side effects.
August 2024 in “Qucosa (Saxon State and University Library Dresden)” In this study on mice, researchers observed that dermal white adipose tissue (dWAT) plays a key role in regulating skin inflammation and tissue repair; however, reduced expression of certain cytokines in obese mice may hinder these processes, indicating potential metabolic disruptions in dWAT during inflammation.
June 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This case report documented a 32-year-old man's acute pancreatitis following an overdose of finasteride, highlighting the potential for rare but severe side effects from the drug in overdose situations, and suggesting a need for further research into its safety.
This literature review reports that mesenchymal stem cell-derived secretome, including conditioned medium and extracellular vesicles, shows promise as an effective treatment for various diseases in animal and human in-vivo models, with ongoing clinical trials and recommendations for future research discussed.
In this report, a unique case of premature graying in a 32-year-old male, with onset at age 15 and a distinctive fractal pattern, was presented, highlighting the need for further investigation into its potential causes and mechanisms.
April 2024 in “Acta scientific dental sciences” This case study describes a 45-year-old male with black hairy tongue who experienced complete resolution of tongue discoloration and improved halitosis after receiving treatment focused on enhanced oral hygiene, tongue brushing, and smoking cessation.
In this case study, a patient experienced darkening of hair color after taking acitretin, an oral retinoid known for potentially causing alopecia, marking a rare and undocumented phenomenon.
April 2024 in “Cell death and disease” This review discusses the long-term complications of COVID-19, known as long COVID or PASC, and emphasizes the need to improve awareness and management strategies but reports no new clinical findings.
March 2024 in “PLoS medicine” This study systematically reviewed meta-analyses and Mendelian randomization studies to identify factors influencing prostate cancer risk, finding suggestive associations for physical activity, height, and smoking but no robust, convincing overlapping evidence across tested factors.
