This article discusses skin lesions in chronic graft-versus-host disease and highlights the importance of coordinated care between haematologists and dermatologists for effective management; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that CYP11A1-derived vitamin D3 analogs inhibit fibroblast proliferation and decrease collagen production through VDR expression, showing potential antifibrotic and antiproliferative activity in human dermal fibroblasts.

This study found that multicomponent microarray patches for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination produced stronger immune responses and fewer side effects in mice compared to traditional intramuscular injection.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.

This study found that preventing abnormal mineral ion homeostasis in vitamin D receptor knockout mice stopped bone abnormalities, while the animal's skin phenotype arose from direct receptor effects independent of vitamin D.

This case report on a 17-year-old with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome found that while steroid treatments improved vision during uveitis episodes, recurring ocular issues led to significant long-term visual impairment.

This review of DAVID syndrome cases found that ACTH deficiency often preceded by sinus infections or alopecia is linked to specific NFKB2 gene mutations, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent complications.

This study concluded that the hairless protein interacts with the vitamin D receptor to repress transcription crucial for hair cycling, employing multiple protein interfaces and modulating chromatin structure.

This study found that hair follicle homeostasis in mice requires vitamin D receptor expression in keratinocytes, independent of its ligand activation.

This study observed significant clinical effects, such as hair loss and testicular changes, in common quail treated with the steroids IVF-C Inj and Diane-35, especially highlighting cyproterone acetate's impact on vital organs like the liver.

This study found that a catalytically active version of Vav2 significantly altered gene expression patterns in hair follicle stem cells in mice, with these changes varying over the animals' lifespans.

This study found that the loss of transcription factor Ovol2 in epidermal and hair follicle stem cells leads to migration defects, which are partially improved by deleting the EMT-inducing Zeb1.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This case report describes the youngest known patient with viral-associated trichodysplasia of immunosuppression, where systemic valganciclovir therapy improved facial papule eruptions following cardiac transplantation.

This article discusses two cases of follicular dyskeratosis (Darier-White disease), highlighting its rare occurrence, genetic basis, and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment; it presents no new experimental results.

This study suggests that human dermal Vδ1+ γδ T-cells may contribute to alopecia areata pathogenesis by targeting stressed scalp hair follicles and inducing immune privilege collapse.

This study reports that anifrolumab showed promising improvement in a case of refractory discoid lupus erythematosus, specifically enhancing skin lesions and promoting hair regrowth, suggesting potential as an effective therapy for severe cases.

In a case report, complete hair regrowth was observed in a patient with severe alopecia areata after treatment with deucravacitinib, a TYK2 inhibitor, suggesting new therapeutic avenues for alopecia areata despite TYK2 not being traditionally linked to this condition.

This study found that humanized mouse models expressing mutated or reduced levels of the vitamin D receptor were able to maintain normal mineral homeostasis and prevent typical symptoms of vitamin D resistance.

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.

In this study, human dermal papilla cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hDPC-EVs) were found to reduce skin fibrosis in mice by delivering miRNA-182-5p, which inhibits the TGF-β1 signaling pathway.

This study found that the Plcd3(mNab) mutation in mice worsens the alopecia caused by Plcd1 loss, suggesting synergistic effects between Plcd1 and Plcd3 on hair follicle health.

This study found that vinblastine treatment rapidly increased platelet counts in childhood refractory immune thrombocytopenia, providing effective control of bleeding symptoms, although side effects like neuropathic pain were common and resolved with dose adjustments.

In this study, researchers found that in mouse models of alopecia areata, the expression of immune-regulating molecules PD-L1 and PD-L2 in dermal fibroblasts is increased by activated T cells, potentially indicating a lack of negative immune control in affected skin.

This study found that a single ablative fractional laser treatment significantly reduced hedgehog pathway gene expression in microscopic murine basal cell carcinomas, nearly matching the effects of repeated topical vismodegib applications.

This paper discusses the use of Digital Volumetric Imaging with fluorescent dyes to visualize and compare the interior structures of six different virgin hair types, reporting no new clinical results.

This case report describes successful treatment of generalized trichodysplasia spinulosa with leflunomide in a patient undergoing immunosuppressive therapy following solid organ transplantation.

This study found that among patients with discogenic low back pain, intradiscal injection of platelet-rich plasma over six months resulted in significant symptom improvement, with 79.3% achieving a clinically important reduction in pain and disability scores, and showed promising safety without treatment-related complications.

This study identified a novel mechanism by which dsRNA-induced TLR3 activation and retinoic acid pathways contribute to new hair follicle formation after deep wounds in mice and suggested a similar potential in humans.
