This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This review outlines the transition from simple hair follicle organoids to immune-competent microphysiological systems, addressing limitations in replicating native hair follicle immune features and discussing their applications in disease modeling and regenerative medicine.

This study found that low-level laser treatment may promote hair regrowth in mice by activating the Wnt10b/ß-catenin pathway and inducing the anagen phase of hair follicles.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

This review discusses the role of the complement pathway in alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest that targeting this pathway could offer treatment options.

A woman with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease developed lupus-like skin lesions, improved with treatment, suggesting a unique skin condition in carriers.

This study concluded that laser hair removal using Alexandrite laser emitting red and infrared light appears safe and does not significantly affect the disease activity of Systemic lupus erythematosus.

This review discusses rodent models of alopecia areata and suggests they are crucial for understanding the autoimmune mechanisms and potential treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This correspondence highlights existing research on pattern hair loss, discussing findings about immune deposits, lymphocytic infiltration, and responses to treatment, and calls for future well-controlled studies.

This study identified shared gene expression changes and immune cell infiltration patterns that may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata and cutaneous lupus erythematosus, but also highlighted factors that might preserve hair in psoriasis patients.

This study isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

In this case report, a patient with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and exfoliative erythroderma achieved complete remission with systemic corticosteroids and long-term hydroxychloroquine.

This case report describes two cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) onset occurring within two months after COVID-19 vaccination, but it remains unclear if the vaccination contributed to these cases.

This case report highlights how chronic bacterial folliculitis may contribute to persistent inflammation in lichen simplex chronicus and emphasizes the value of DIF and IHC in diagnosing obscure cases.

This case report illustrates that prompt diagnosis and management of myositis, a rare manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, can lead to favorable patient outcomes, as demonstrated by symptom resolution and normal electromyocardiography findings.

In this study, gene expression analysis of plucked hair follicles from scalp lesions was sufficient to differentiate chronic discoid lupus erythematosus from psoriasis and healthy controls, suggesting a non-invasive diagnostic potential.

This case study reports that patchy nonscarring alopecia without systemic involvement can be an atypical initial indication of juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus.

This case report describes a rare instance where a young woman initially presented with macrophage activation syndrome as the first sign of systemic lupus erythematosus, and ultimately experienced multiorgan failure and death.

This case report describes a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with both systemic lupus erythematosus and Graves' disease, illustrating the occurrence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes with specific combinations of autoimmune disorders.

This research found evidence of inflammatory involvement in androgenetic alopecia, with higher deposition of certain immune components in the scalp of affected patients compared to those without baldness.

This study identified key proteins, such as Sfrp1 and Ppard, involved in the complex and dynamic regulation of yak hair follicle growth and degeneration across different stages, offering insights into yaks' adaptation to highland environments.

Alopecia areata is caused by an immune response, and targeting immune cells might help treat it.

This case report describes areata-like lupus in a 63-year-old woman, characterized by nonscarring patchy alopecia similar to alopecia areata, without meeting systemic lupus erythematosus criteria.

In this study, researchers observed significant differences in microbial composition between UV-induced fluorescent and non-fluorescent scalp areas in patients with androgenetic alopecia, noting a higher abundance of Cutibacterium in the fluorescent regions.

In this case study, a 30-year-old woman with symptoms including fever, joint pain, and skin ulcers was diagnosed with Lupus Vasculitis and treated with steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine after tests showed positive anti-nuclear and anti-Ro antibodies and reduced serum complement levels.

In this animal study, soy isoflavones were found to protect lung tissue from the adverse effects of radiation, such as skin injury, inflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting a potential radioprotective benefit.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

This case report describes a rare instance of pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy in a 25-year-old caucasian primigravida during the third trimester, discussing management recommendations.
