In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with cutaneous dermatomyositis showed significant improvement, including reduction of erythema, pruritus, and scaling, after starting JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, especially when conventional systemic treatments failed and intravenous immune globulin wasn't viable.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.

This study found that transplanting trichogenous dermal cells significantly enhanced the restoration of in vivo-damaged hair follicles in a nude rat model, with a combination of dermal papilla and sheath cells proving more effective than either cell type alone.

This review reports that combining adipose-derived stem cells with decellularized extracellular matrix enhances tissue repair by improving scaffold biological activity and promoting angiogenesis, integration, and functional regeneration across various tissues, while addressing challenges in traditional transplantation methods.

This article discusses the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene in chemical carcinogenesis and reports no new experimental findings.

This review highlights the need for inclusive dermatology practices to address variations in skin conditions globally by incorporating tools like AI, teledermatology, and culturally competent education.

A heart transplant patient developed a skin condition called epidermodysplasia verruciformis after taking immune-suppressing drugs.

This study observed that ECMs produced by papillary fibroblasts showed the largest fibers and supported keratinocyte differentiation better than reticular fibroblast matrices, informing biomimetic material design for skin tissue engineering.

This review discusses autoimmune blistering diseases across species and highlights new treatment efficacy findings and ongoing trials, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that transgender men undergoing testosterone therapy may experience skin changes such as acne and androgenic hair loss, which can be managed with a collaborative approach involving both dermatologists and endocrinologists.

This study suggests that TIP39 and its receptor PTH2R, identified in human epidermis, may play a role in keratinocyte function and influence skin differentiation.

This article reviews the use of hormonal therapies in dermatology, specifically focusing on their pathophysiologic rationale, indications, commonly used drugs, and pretreatment evaluations, and it reports no new research findings.

This study explored how using kitchen-related analogies for dermatological signs, like comparing certain appearances to common culinary items, can enhance understanding and retention of complex medical concepts in dermatology.

This study reports that dermoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool for distinguishing acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp from female pattern hair loss by identifying specific hair features.

This study developed a low-viscosity triamcinolone acetonide serum, used with a derma stamp microneedling device, to improve targeted treatment of alopecia areata, reporting favorable drug solubility, spreadability, and permeation to hair follicles, while maintaining skin safety.

In this study, researchers identified the antimicrobial peptide dermcidin in sebocyte lipid droplets, challenging the previous understanding of dermcidin as exclusively sweat-specific.

This study found that an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue regeneration quality in mouse and pig models compared to a commercial porcine-derived matrix, suggesting its potential as a safe, cost-effective bioscaffold for skin repair.

This study found that ITGA6-positive dermal sheath cup cells, identified by their superior migratory activity, may enhance cell-based therapy for male and female pattern hair loss by promoting cell migration into hair follicles.

In this case study, a 62-year-old male with a history of uncontrolled diabetes and chronic kidney disease was diagnosed with perforating folliculitis after presenting with dark, raised, pruritic lesions on his limbs, confirmed by histopathological examination showing collagen extruding into hair follicles.

This study identified three EDAR gene variants potentially linked to hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in three Pakistani families, which could aid in genetic counseling for similar cases.

In this case study, a 10-month-old Doberman with generalized demodicosis recovered fully after treatment with a combination of systemic and topical therapies, including ivermectin, hydroxyzine, enrofloxacin, fluralaner, and specialized shampoos.

This study observed that testosterone metabolism and androgen receptor localization differ significantly across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing distinct characteristics compared to occipital scalp hair follicles.

This review highlights recent advances in personalized transdermal drug delivery systems, noting their potential for improved treatment efficacy and safety, but identifies significant challenges in clinical translation.

This survey investigated how well an AI chatbot could generate dermoscopic language reports for dermatologists and found that participants were equally satisfied with its responses across scenarios, despite lower performance in diagnosing SCC and inflammatory dermatoses.
