This article reviews the role of vitamin D receptor in protecting the skin from UV radiation-induced damage and tumor formation, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article outlines the potential for upregulating the vitamin D receptor in treating hair disorders, emphasizing the need for further studies to evaluate vitamin D's role in the hair cycle.

Dermoscopy helped diagnose discoid lupus erythematosus in two patients without needing skin biopsies.

This study found that VDR polymorphisms, particularly ApaI and FokI variants, are associated with hormonal and metabolic disturbances in women with PCOS, with notable variations across different ethnicities.

This review explores disorders of sex development, emphasizing the need for a systematic, multidisciplinary approach and the benefits of genetic testing for better diagnosis and gender assignment planning, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report suggests that topical diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) may be beneficial for treating both alopecia areata and verruca vulgaris, although it is not typically a first-line therapy.

This study reported that continuous intravenous dextran sulfate was toxic and ineffective as a treatment for symptomatic HIV infection, as it did not improve surrogate markers and caused significant side effects.

This study developed a validated HPLC method for accurately estimating dutasteride and its related compounds in capsules, suitable for routine and stability sample analysis.

This editorial introduces a special issue on "In Vitro Models of Human Disease" in DMM, highlighting how these models enhance understanding of disease mechanisms, accelerate drug development, and support personalized treatment strategies.

This study found that deleting β-catenin in epidermis-specific VDR knockout mice did not prevent UVB-induced skin tumors, indicating β-catenin does not compensate for VDR's role in tumor suppression.

New, cheaper method measures finasteride in tablets accurately and quickly.

Topical dapsone gel reduced flare-ups in folliculitis decalvans without side effects.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

Dermatologists help detect gender-based violence by identifying skin signs of abuse.

This study found that DALL-E 2 performed poorly in generating accurate images of most pediatric dermatological conditions, highlighting the need for more domain-specific and inclusive training data.

This study suggests that low-cost videomicroscopes may inaccurately assess certain features in hair and scalp disorders compared to standard videodermatoscopy, limiting their reliability for trichoscopy.

This review highlights that deucravacitinib, a selective TYK2 inhibitor, shows promise as an effective treatment for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases, though real-world evidence beyond psoriasis is still emerging.

This in-silico study identified several compounds as potential Vitamin D Receptor agonists, with Dolichosterone showing the strongest binding energy.

This paper reviews the development of transdermal drug delivery systems for skin diseases, from first to fourth generation, and highlights ongoing challenges and the importance of clinical trials, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that lower expression of VDR protein in breast cancer patients is associated with increased bone metastasis and poorer prognosis, making it a significant prognostic factor.

This study emphasizes the need for a formal evaluation of direct-to-consumer telemedicine services in Australia to ensure safety, privacy, and ethical standards while maintaining high-quality healthcare.

Different skin conditions show distinct types of vessel inflammation, a new quality of life index for vulval disease is reliable, a certain intrauterine system might be linked to chronic vaginal yeast infections, and oral minoxidil reduces hair loss in women.

In this study, alopecia areata patients treated with diphencyprone showed a significant increase in CD8 lymphocytes around hair bulbs, which may be associated with hair regrowth.

Teledermatology reduces unnecessary in-person visits and improves care.

This study found that dutasteride may offer neuroprotection in early-stage Parkinson's disease by preventing loss of striatal dopamine and altering steroid levels in MPTP-lesioned mice.

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 repetitive 532 nm laser therapy significantly decreased scores for macules, pigmented, and vascular lesions on the facial area, regardless of skin phototype or age.

This article discusses the rise of direct-to-consumer teledermatology platforms, warning that they might cause overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and fragmented healthcare, and emphasizes the need for patient counseling about these risks and benefits.

This article discusses the technique of laser Doppler velocimetry for measuring cutaneous blood flow and does not report new research findings.

This study formulated and characterized a dutasteride-loaded nanocrystalline suspension for long-acting parenteral delivery, finding that it provided sustained drug release in rats with a significant reduction in local inflammation over 28 days following intramuscular injection.
