This study observed that while dexamethasone-cyclophosphamide pulse therapy is relatively free from hypertension and diabetes compared to conventional steroids in pemphigus patients, it frequently causes generalized weakness and flushing.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This report highlights a new genetic variant of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in two sisters from the first identified family case in Russia, emphasizing the varied manifestations of the disorder and the importance of genetic testing for diagnosis and patient-specific treatment planning.

This case report identifies a previously undocumented nonsense mutation in DCAF17 in a Chinese patient with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, inherited from consanguineous parents.

This study found that DC-HIL+ myeloid derived suppressor cells are increased in the blood and skin of patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and show immunosuppressive properties.

This study observed that elderly women exhibited a tendency for higher personal anxiety and increased brain DC-potential indicators, with distinct energy cost patterns in different brain regions compared to elderly men.

This case report describes a 33-year-old Kashmiri woman with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome who has a rare DCAF17 gene mutation, c.321+1G>A, providing further evidence for its role in the genetic basis of this neuroendocrine disorder.

This study suggests that DcR3 can reprogram macrophages towards a reparative state, enhancing wound healing and hair follicle regeneration, making it a potential target for treating chronic wounds and alopecia.

PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.

This study discusses the potential association between low vitamin D levels and insulin resistance, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to disorders like obesity and diabetes, but emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these links.

This study showed that vitamin D receptor gene-deficient rats exhibit hair loss and skin abnormalities due to differences in gene and protein expression patterns, while ligand-independent VDR action is crucial for normal hair cycle maintenance and skin formation.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor knockout mice exhibit impaired epidermal differentiation and progressive hair loss, suggesting the importance of the vitamin D receptor in normal skin and hair follicle development.

This study describes a case of vitamin D resistant rickets in a young girl due to end organ unresponsiveness, highlighting a possible new subtype of the disorder with distinct clinical features.

This study highlights the complex role of the vitamin D receptor in skin processes, where its disruption, along with calcium and co-regulator imbalances, could contribute to skin cancer development by altering skin differentiation and hair follicle cycling.

This study suggests that impaired VDR signaling in mice leads to dysregulated Ddit4 expression, impacting hair cycle progression and wound healing.

In this study, autophagy was commonly observed during keratinization in neonate rat hair follicles, suggesting lysosomal proteases and cytoplasmic enzymes may coordinate in hair follicle cell differentiation.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic option for alopecia areata due to its immune-regulating effects and reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that while low vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of autoimmune thyroid diseases, evidence from clinical trials on vitamin D supplementation shows inconsistent effects on thyroid function and disease progression, underscoring the need for further research.

This report describes siblings with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia totalis, and low 25(OH)D3 levels, highlighting its autosomal recessive pattern and distinction from other rickets types.

This study suggests that vitamin D deficiency is likely not involved in the development of frontal fibrosing alopecia, as patients showed similar vitamin D levels to those with female pattern hair loss.

This study established that the Dct::CreERT2 mouse line is effective for targeting and studying adult melanocyte stem cells, contributing to the understanding of melanocyte biology and hair pigmentation.

This review highlights the diverse pharmacological activities of Blumea eriantha DC., observed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and larvicidal potential, while also noting the need for further research into its mechanisms, clinical validation, and standardization.

This review focuses on the significant pharmacological properties and therapeutic potential of phytosterols, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds from the endangered plant Nardostachys Jatamansi, highlighting their diverse applications in disease prevention and treatment.

This study found that Nardostachys jatamansi DC rhizome extracts and specific isolated terpenoids promoted hair growth.

This study highlights the phenotypic variability in 5 patients with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome carrying the c.436delC mutation, suggesting a broader range of clinical presentations than previously recognized.

This study found that alcoholic extracts of Blumea eriantha DC exhibited significant hair growth activity, primarily attributed to the phytoconstituent Dimethyl sulfone.

This study tested five different brands of hair building fibers, examining their electrostatic and dielectric properties as well as analyzing their fiber structure with scanning electron microscopy.

This study found that Blumea eriantha silver nanoparticles promoted hair growth in treated animals, with activity comparable to minoxidil in terms of anagen follicle transition.

This study found that microwave-assisted extraction significantly increased the yield of secondary metabolites, including phenolic and flavonoid content, from Nardostachys jatamansi, enhancing its anti-Alzheimer's potential compared to conventional extraction methods.

This review discusses the immune functions of porcine skin and proposes a classification of dendritic cell subsets based on similarities to human skin, but it reports no new clinical results.
