In a laboratory study, researchers found that a novel Bioactive Crosslink Repair Complex improved both the protection and repair of chemically damaged hair, enhancing tensile strength, shine, and cuticle alignment when added to bleaching mixtures and leave-in conditioners.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with both Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and systemic lupus erythematosus, who showed clinical improvement after treatment with glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine, highlighting the rare coexistence of these conditions and the ongoing uncertainty about the precise cause of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.

This case report describes a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with both systemic lupus erythematosus and Graves' disease, illustrating the occurrence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes with specific combinations of autoimmune disorders.

This case report documents a 31-year-old woman with bullous SLE who showed improvement with high-dose parenteral steroids and dapsone, with ongoing follow-up due to potential kidney involvement.

A man with a rare skin condition and a new gene mutation developed high calcium levels due to his treatment.

In this open-label trial, Tofacitinib was well tolerated and improved IFN and cytokine scores, as well as overall skin pathology, in individuals with Down syndrome and immune skin conditions.

This study found that Datura metel extracts obtained through supercritical CO2 extraction demonstrated significant biological activity, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and effectively promoted wound closure and collagen preservation, comparable to standard treatments, in laboratory experiments.

This study identifies a bipotent stem cell in adult hair follicles that self-renews and contributes to dermal sheath and papilla cell populations, potentially aiding hair regrowth after injury, disease, or aging.

This study demonstrated a validated UPLC method for analyzing finasteride in low-dose drug products, highlighting methanol content and flow rate as critical factors for method robustness and accuracy.

This study found that vitamin D was positively associated with serum ferritin levels in Korean women without metabolic syndrome, but this association was not observed in those with metabolic syndrome.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.
