In a retrospective study, researchers found that topical spironolactone improved tear film quality and reduced inflammation related to meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye in patients, demonstrating good tolerability and suggesting it as a potential therapy for managing the condition.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

This study found that dedifferentiated corneal epithelial cells can revert to a stem-cell-like state, aiding tissue homeostasis and repair, with this plasticity limited to the epithelial lineage and enhanced by niche-derived cytokines.

This study reported that topical spironolactone improved lid margin vascularity, corneal fluorescein staining, and disease severity scores in patients with ocular graft-versus-host disease, suggesting a potential therapeutic role by enhancing corneal lipid production with minimal adverse effects.

In this study, researchers observed that low levels of fucose-binding lectin staining characterize limbal epithelial progenitor cells, which maintain a high proliferative capacity and may be enhanced by inhibiting fucosylation, offering insights for regenerative therapy of the limbal stem cell niche.

The study suggests that abnormal activation of hair follicle stem cells and Wnt10b/β-catenin signaling may contribute to the development of sebaceous neoplasms.

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.

This study found that PGF 2α receptors were predominantly present in the inner root sheath of the bulb and stem of human eyelashes during the anagen phase.

This study demonstrated that keratin is widely present in various epithelial cells, providing structural strength and potential insights into the origin of cell lines.

This study found that the ocular surface epithelium in mice contains distinct stem cell populations with unique cell division dynamics that change behaviorally in response to different levels of injury.

This study reported that specific inhibition of the classical complement pathway with BIVV009 prevented C3 deposition along the dermal-epidermal junction in bullous pemphigoid, reflecting its potential efficacy.

This article reviews the side effects of topical latanoprost therapy, particularly the hypertrichosis and pigmentation changes of eyelashes and nearby skin, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while bimatoprost was safe for 16 weeks, it was not effective for eyelash growth in patients with significant loss due to alopecia areata, though some with less loss experienced growth.

This study found that switching patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension from benzalkonium chloride-latanoprost to preservative-free latanoprost maintained intraocular pressure control and improved tolerability, potentially enhancing treatment adherence and quality of life.

This case report demonstrates a strong association between protein-losing enteropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, with symptoms and conditions improving with prednisolone treatment.

This study demonstrated that a new topical treatment using ketotifen-loaded microneedles, designed for prolonged release, significantly reduced inflammatory markers in an animal model of allergic conjunctivitis, suggesting enhanced therapeutic delivery and sustained ocular benefits.

In this case study, alopecia was observed as a possible side effect in a patient taking oral acyclovir for herpetic keratouveitis, which resolved after discontinuing the medication.

This article describes the immunofluorescence tomography method to achieve high-resolution 3-D reconstruction of epithelial tissues and reports no clinical results.

This study demonstrates that bioengineered lacrimal gland germs can successfully develop and restore tear production and ocular surface protection in a mouse model with lacrimal gland dysfunction.

A man developed an allergic skin reaction after using brimonidine for rosacea.

This letter discusses a case of iododerma in pregnancy linked to iodinated multivitamin use, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report from Veterinary Clinical Complex, Kurumbapet, India, described a kitten with superficial dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum spp., which was successfully treated using itraconazole syrup, cetirizine, and a liver-supportive syrup, achieving complete recovery by the third week without adverse effects.

This case report highlights a 53-year-old woman who developed acute hepatitis after taking shou-wu-pian for eight months, suggesting that Chinese herbal preparations can sometimes cause liver damage.

In this case study, a 6-month-old dog diagnosed with anaplasmosis showed improved health and symptoms after a combination treatment with doxycycline, ivermectin, and supportive therapies.

This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating iron deficiency related to nutritional anemia and hair loss, concluding that routine screening and supplementation for hair loss are not yet supported by sufficient evidence.

This study found that squamous cell carcinomas from hair follicle stem cells are more prone to epithelial to mesenchymal transition and metastasis than those from interfollicular epidermis, due to distinct chromatin landscapes.

This review discusses the various common, rare, and unusual skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus and highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.
