The researchers reported that dPGS-PCL as a carrier improved the penetration of tofacitinib in an ex-vivo human skin model compared to free tofacitinib, but did not show significant differences in inhibiting IL-6 and IL-8 during short incubation.

This article discusses the rise of direct-to-consumer teledermatology platforms, warning that they might cause overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and fragmented healthcare, and emphasizes the need for patient counseling about these risks and benefits.

This study identified that blocking the PTGDR2 receptor in human hair follicles in vitro and in mice reversed the hair growth inhibition caused by PGD2, suggesting a potential approach for treating alopecia.

This study reported that the combination of a 308-nm excimer lamp and 10% liquor carbonis detergens significantly improved scalp psoriasis symptoms compared to the excimer lamp alone, with more patients achieving 75% reduction in their Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index.

Oral dexamethasone may help regrow hair in adults with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This study found that using deep plane fixation during scalp surgeries significantly reduced closure tension and allowed for increased tissue excision compared to standard techniques without fixation.

In this study, basal cell carcinoma developed in Ptch-deficient mice only after chemical treatment, not skin wounding, suggesting a second unknown event is necessary for tumor formation.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy with diffuse alopecia areata showed improvement with topical diphencyprone immunotherapy, suggesting it as a safe and effective treatment option in pediatric cases of alopecia areata resistant to other therapies.

This narrative review reported that direct-to-consumer teledermatology improves access to care, adherence, and patient satisfaction for treating male androgenetic alopecia, but may lead to higher drug costs.

This study found that a hair-coating polyphenol complex significantly enhanced the mechanical strength, UV protection, and antistatic properties of damaged hair, suggesting potential benefits for hair treatment.

This study suggests that simple absolute threshold monitoring rules for compliance using the biomarker DHT perform similarly to more complex methods in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial.

This study found that variations in the genes PDCD4, miR-21, and miR-449b may significantly influence breast cancer progression, with higher PDCD4 serum levels linked to increased breastfeeding.

This study found that applying both dehydrothermal treatment and carbodiimide crosslinking improved the mechanical properties of porcine acellular dermal matrix scaffolds without added cytotoxicity, suggesting potential applications in tissue engineering.

This study identified 43 compounds in Platycladi Cacumen, including flavonoids, and found significant chemical variation in flavonoid content across different regions and processed products.

Systematic end-of-trial biopsies are the most reliable way to assess outcomes.

This study found that polymeric micelle formulations significantly improved the targeted delivery of adapalene to hair follicles compared to standard Differin® products, which suggests potential advantages in treating hair follicle-related conditions and reducing side effects.

In this report, a 26-year-old man with folliculitis decalvans unresponsive to standard treatments experienced significant disease clearance after 25 months of systemic photodynamic therapy, marking the first documented use of this therapy for this condition.

This study reported that overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase in C57Bl/6 mice increased their sensitivity to tumor promotion by TPA, a change reversible by doxycycline treatment.

This study introduced Cadd4, a peptide-based degrader developed using computer-aided drug design, which effectively reduced PCSK9 levels and increased LDL receptor expression, resulting in decreased plasma cholesterol and LDL-C levels in hypercholesterolemic mice, without liver toxicity.

This study found that adjuvant docetaxel treatment for breast cancer at cumulative doses of 400 mg/m² or higher is associated with a 10% prevalence of persistent alopecia leading to wig use, but this was completely prevented with scalp cooling.

This study demonstrated that culturing high-passage dermal papilla cells with specific supplemented conditioned media may preserve their hair-inducing abilities, suggesting potential for reconstructing new hair follicles in vivo.

Blocking a protein called prostaglandin D2 might help treat hair loss.

Direct-to-consumer teledermatology is not effectively reaching underserved populations due to language, technology, and insurance barriers.

This study found that deep plane fixation in scalp surgeries allowed for tension-reduced wound closures and increased tissue excision compared to techniques without deep plane fixation.

This study suggests that adding imiquimod to diphenylcyclopropenone treatment significantly improves outcomes for alopecia areata patients who initially do not respond to diphenylcyclopropenone alone.

This case report describes a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones who experienced slight improvement in her skin lesions after three months of treatment with topical retinoids and urea cream.

In this study, TCDD administered to male rats down-regulated EGF receptor in liver plasma membranes and increased protein kinase activity, suggesting EGF receptor–mediated toxicological effects.

This study found that dermal papilla cells can induce hair follicle regeneration and maintain growth in vitro and in vivo, with higher ET-1 and SCF expression enhancing this ability.

In this study, researchers optimized a method for preparing platelet-rich plasma to improve light transmittance aggregometry testing in coronary artery disease patients on clopidogrel and ticagrelor, finding distinct differences in platelet aggregation and volumes among these patients compared to healthy controls.

CTP-543 significantly improved eyebrow and eyelash regrowth and patient satisfaction in adults with alopecia areata.
