This study found that cationic vesicles enhanced minoxidil skin retention and in vivo hair growth efficacy compared to other formulation types due to electrostatic interactions with the skin.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

This study observed that including cationic minoxidil particles in a shampoo facilitated notable hair growth promotion despite a negative surface charge after rinsing, likely due to ionic interactions with the skin.

This article reviews the history and impacts of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. and reports no new research findings; it discusses implications for health policy debates.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study reports a case of a child with congenital skin fragility, alopecia, and cardiomyopathy due to compound heterozygous mutations in the DSP gene causing desmoplakin deficiency.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

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.

CD206+ macrophages are crucial for hair growth in alopecia areata treatment.

This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

This study found that dimethylarsinic acid significantly accelerates skin tumor development in hair follicle-targeted K6/ODC transgenic mice.

This study suggests that macrophages, particularly CD206⁺ macrophages, play a crucial role in squaric acid dibutylester-induced hair growth in alopecia areata treatment.

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

This case study details the successful treatment of macrophage activation syndrome with dexamethasone and cyclosporine in a 36-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease, highlighting the critical importance of timely aggressive treatment.

This pilot clinical study introduces DEC cells as a novel therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, confirming safety and efficacy in seven patients up to 24 months post-treatment.

In this prospective observational study of 96 dermatomyositis patients, 47 showed scalp involvement, with significant symptoms like scalp inflammation, itching, and hair loss linked to myositis-specific antibodies. The study highlighted unique dermatopathological features in the scalp and emphasized the considerable morbidity caused by scalp dermatomyositis.

This study suggests that StemMACS MSC Expansion Media is more suitable than PowerStem MSC1 media for expanding therapeutic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, with less expression of negative markers and better chromosomal stability.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of microsponges delivery systems in drug delivery, particularly for topical treatments, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that topical fish oil treatment in GsdmA3 Dfl/+ mice increased cellular proliferation and macrophages but did not affect COX-2 expression related to psoriasis-like skin changes.

In this study, researchers found that deficiencies in Gsdma1/2/3 significantly inhibited the initiation and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in mice, suggesting GSDMA's role in promoting cSCC proliferation and its potential as a therapeutic target.

A gene mutation in mice causes increased mast cells and disorganized hair follicles in their skin.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

In this study, D6D knockout mice showed severe deficiency in AA and DHA, leading to unexpected effects on skin health, fertility, and immune cell development.

This study suggests that macrophages, especially CD206+ subsets, play a key role in hair growth induced by squaric acid dibutyl ester, a therapy used for alopecia areata.

In this case study, a 19-month-old infant with palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy was found to have a desmoplakin gene mutation, leading to cardiomyopathy by age 7, illustrating diagnostic challenges and the potential link between skin, dental, and cardiac anomalies.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

This study found that a dopamine-methacrylated hyaluronic acid hydrogel enhances the efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells in promoting skin regeneration, potentially involving the Notch signaling pathway.

This study found that nanobubble-encapsulated diclofenac with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (DNBs-UTMD) can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of Doxil® by regulating the tumor immune microenvironment, improving drug uptake, and increasing T cell responses while reducing immune-suppressive cells in the process.

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 case report describes a 47-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy as the first sign of primary antiphospholipid syndrome, highlighting the need for APS screening in similar patient presentations.
