This study found that intrathymic injection of recipient-type splenocytes into donor rats, combined with antilymphocyte antiserum, effectively prevented graft-versus-host disease for up to 300 days.

In this study, 2-deoxy D-glucose did not prevent the progression of alopecia areata or promote hair regrowth in a mouse model despite its efficacy in other autoimmune conditions.

This study found that mice lacking the vitamin D receptor showed disrupted hair follicle cycling and balance between cell proliferation and differentiation, highlighting VDR's role in hair cycling regulation.

In this study, the authors identified the DHRS9 SNP rs72623193 as most significantly associated with response to dutasteride in treating male pattern hair loss, with additional variants potentially contributing.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

In this study of Egyptian patients on hepatitis C treatment, 34% experienced skin-related side effects from sofosbuvir and daclatasvir, such as itching and hyperpigmentation, but most reactions were mild and reversible without needing to stop therapy.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is essential for the self-renewal, migration, and differentiation of epidermal stem cells during skin wound healing in mice.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This review discusses recent advancements in targeted therapies for vitiligo, highlighting the therapeutic potential of JAK inhibitors and mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, and reports no new clinical results.

Daclizumab may cause psoriasis-like skin problems in multiple sclerosis patients.

In mouse models of alopecia areata, this study found increased dilation of lymphatic vessels in affected mice, with associated changes in gene expression related to vascular growth and immune cell movement.

This study found that measuring 24-OHase induction by 1,25(OH)2D3 in cultured skin fibroblasts is a sensitive test for detecting genetic defects in the 1,25(OH)2D effector pathway.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

This review discusses drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, highlighting clinical features, potential viral reactivations, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

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.

In this study, Wang et al. (2022) found that in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus, chronic lesions contained more senescent progenitor cells, marked by p16 and p21, than subacute lesions, suggesting a link between disease chronicity and cellular senescence.

This minireview discusses a proposed model of the vitamin D receptor that explains how 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 can mediate both genomic and rapid responses through different ligand shapes and cellular locations, without presenting new research findings.

This article compares two rare genetic diseases, vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1 and type 2, focusing on their similar presentations of hypocalcemia and rickets in infancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that alopecia in VDR-null mice persists despite undetectable vitamin D levels, indicating a defect in epithelial-mesenchymal communication due to the absence of ligand-independent receptor function.

This study demonstrates that the transcription factor DLX5 can promote hair follicle stem cell differentiation through regulating the c-MYC/miR-29c-3p/NSD1 axis.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This study found that topical immunotherapy affects angiogenesis and immune cell ratios in the scalp, potentially offering insights into the mechanisms underlying alopecia areata.

In this study using Xenopus laevis embryos, reduced levels of the desmosomal protein desmoplakin led to defects in epidermal and cardiac structures, suggesting its crucial role in tissue integrity.

Viral reactivation is rare at the time of DRESS diagnosis in the U.S.

In this study, researchers detected all three genotypes associated with the MLPH gene's R199H polymorphism in a population of Czech pointer dogs, which is linked to coat color dilution.

This study found that stress-induced inactivation of the enzyme Dicer in melanocytes can cause premature hair greying by preventing proper melanocyte placement and melanin transfer in mice, suggesting the Dicer-miR92b-ItgaV pathway as an important link between stress and grey hair.

Dengue fever can cause hair loss that may lead to serious psychological issues like Body Dysmorphic Disorder in young women.
