February 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, researchers found that correcting the HGPS mutation with Adenine base editing partially rescued accelerated skin cell differentiation and reduced cell death in patient-derived stem cells.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that secreted factors from skin-derived precursors, especially those pre-treated with jasmine extract, enhanced keratinocyte growth and influenced reconstructed human epidermis thickness in lab experiments.
2 citations
,
October 2023 in “Frontiers in Public Health” This study found that in Hidradenitis Suppurativa patients, the psychosocial subscale of Skindex-17 is most relevant for assessing quality of life across different severity levels, with irritation and pain becoming more pertinent as severity progresses.
22 citations
,
November 2020 in “International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health” This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impacts patients' sexuality, with many experiencing fear of rejection, perceived unattractiveness, and negative effects on relationships and sexual activity.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that mSKPs and DMSCs share similarities in biological characteristics but exhibit distinct transcriptome profiles, with mSKPs being more immune-related and DMSCs more associated with differentiation and disease pathways.
September 2023 in “Acta dermato-venereologica” This study found that pilonidal sinus disease is a common comorbidity with hidradenitis suppurativa and is linked with increased disease severity, suggesting it may serve as a sentinel event for identifying high-risk patients.
