January 1989 in “Leprosy Review” This report describes a woman with borderline lepromatous leprosy who developed a serious skin reaction to dapsone; she recovered quickly after stopping dapsone and receiving corticosteroids.
January 2025 in “Biomedical Engineering Letters” This study reported that a new polymeric formulation for topical minoxidil delivery in an animal model improved hair growth and hair follicle formation more effectively than minoxidil in PBS, suggesting potential as a future hair loss treatment.

January 2003 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This study describes three female cases of androgen-dependent diseases in myotonic dystrophy, suggesting that peripheral androgen response, rather than serum levels, may drive such conditions.
25 citations

November 2002 in “Pediatric Dermatology” This article describes a case of dyschromatosis universalis in a young Saudi Arabian girl, discussing similar cases reported outside the Far East where the condition was initially identified, but provides no new research findings.
January 2022 in “Medical research archives” This article reviews the potential role of vitamin D supplementation as an adjunct to alemtuzumab therapy in multiple sclerosis management, noting its possible benefits for autoimmune comorbidities and patient adherence, but reports no new clinical results.
June 2025 in “Cell Regeneration” In this study, Dguok deficiency in mice led to premature hair greying due to a loss of melanocyte stem cells and mature melanocytes, with increased oxidative stress and cell death; treatment with an antioxidant mitigated these effects, suggesting DGUOK's importance in hair pigmentation maintenance.
