This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This study identifies two previously unreported pathogenic RIPK4 gene variants, suggesting a functional link with cell adhesion molecules in ectodermal dysplasias.

This dissertation reports that Lrig1 and Lgr6 mark distinct stem cell populations in mouse hair follicles, playing roles in tissue regeneration and tumor development, with Lgr6 regulating Wnt signaling and restraining epidermal lineage commitment.

This case report describes a Japanese bone marrow transplant recipient who developed a high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma on the scalp, potentially linked to long-term voriconazole use.

This article discusses advancements in understanding how skin stem cells and fibroblasts contribute to scar formation, highlighting current and potential therapies aimed at preventing or reducing scarring, yet notes that effective treatments without significant side effects are still lacking.

This review discusses the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the distinct skin findings associated with lupus erythematosus, noting that some are specific to lupus while others are nonspecific and occur with various diseases; it reports no new results.

This case report describes the first known instance of fibrosing alopecia associated with cutaneous lichen planus, suggesting fibrosing alopecia may be a variant of lichen planopilaris.

This study observed that patients with CYLD mutations frequently experienced severe, painful tumors beyond the head and neck, impacting their quality of life, with hormonal factors possibly contributing to tumor development.

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 review examines various immunomodulatory therapies for cutaneous lymphoma and notes that they are most effective in the disease's early stages.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 developed basal cell carcinomas at a younger age than the general population, suggesting a possible predisposition in this group.

This review discusses advancements in stem cell therapy for cutaneous radiation syndrome, highlighting the potential of various stem cell sources to improve wound healing and reduce symptoms, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers developed an acellular bioscaffold made from ovine tendon collagen with an antibacterial coating for treating skin wounds. They found that genipin crosslinking improves the scaffold's properties, and with plasma polymerisation, it enhances antibacterial activity, potentially benefiting wound healing.

This review discusses the complex dermatological effects of oral contraceptives, including both hormonal benefits and potential toxicities, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Malassezia pachydermatis was present on both lesion and healthy skin in a California sea lion, with significantly more colonies on the lesion site.

This review discusses the role of epithelial–mesenchymal transition in cutaneous fibrotic disorders and highlights potential molecular targets for therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that activation of the transcription factor Nrf2 in keratinocytes promotes wound healing in mice by expanding hair follicle stem cells, independent of changes in keratinocyte proliferation or migration.

This study suggests that for dermatomyositis patients with minimal skin disease activity, further improvement in cutaneous symptoms may not translate into better quality of life, highlighting a need to revise trial endpoints.

This study found that CI-1033 caused skin lesions in rats that resemble effects seen in humans receiving EGF receptor inhibitors, suggesting this animal model can help explore the mechanisms behind this cutaneous toxicity.

This source discusses how the skin mycobiome, dominated by Malassezia fungi, may provide a unique niche that can be disrupted by environmental changes, potentially leading to the fungal pathogen C. auris overtaking Malassezia and predisposing individuals to severe infections.

This study developed a transgenic mouse model to explore androgenetic alopecia, finding that inducible COX2 expression led to sebaceous gland changes and hair miniaturization, with reversible effects upon reducing COX2.

This review discusses the role of stem cells in cutaneous wound healing and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for better understanding of underlying mechanisms for future therapies.

This review discusses melatonin's potential in dermatology, highlighting its antioxidative, immunomodulatory, and DNA repair properties, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper reviews the role of the telomere-telomerase system in cellular ageing and cancer, discussing potential therapies but reporting no new experimental results.

This review discusses the increasing reports of rare cutaneous side effects from topical imiquimod, aiming to inform physicians and dermatologists about its potential adverse effects as its use expands.

This review examines the origins and mechanisms of tumor initiation in common skin cancers, but does not present new experimental findings; it emphasizes the need for further research on cancer stem cells.

This review discusses the potential link between long-term transdermal exposure to sex hormones from antiperspirants and increased breast and prostate cancer rates, calling for further research to confirm this theory.

This case study in a renal transplant patient observed that eruptive KA-type SCCs exhibited aggressive behavior and genetic expression changes following intralesional chemotherapy, indicating potential caution against routine use of such treatments in similar cases.

This review by St. Denis et al. highlights that prostaglandin E2 is overexpressed in several skin cancers and suggests targeting its pathway could offer potential treatments for these malignancies.
