This study found hair regrowth in the majority of AA-affected mice and rats treated with diphencyprone, suggesting its potential utility for understanding human alopecia areata and the drug's therapeutic action.

In this case report, the authors describe a child with treatment-resistant alopecia areata who successfully responded to leflunomide and anthralin, proposing this combination as a potentially cost-effective alternative for managing recalcitrant cases by possibly inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway.

This study found that finasteride-induced androgen deficiency in an animal model resulted in tear deficiency and increased inflammatory cytokine expression in the lacrimal gland, potentially aiding in understanding dry eye pathogenesis.

This study suggests that finasteride treatment may improve pulmonary immune response in mice following trauma and sepsis, indicating potential as a therapeutic option after major trauma.

This review discusses the roles of adiponectin and bradykinin in skin homeostasis and pathologies, highlighting the need for further research into their therapeutic potential but reports no new clinical results.

Certain genetic differences may affect how likely someone is to get COVID-19 and how severe it might be.

This study found that combining LED yellow light with an engineered strain expressing CXCL12 improved wound healing and reduced inflammation in a mouse model of scald wounds.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis and as a treatment target.

This study introduced the concept of spatiotemporal clocks to understand how different phases of mammalian wound healing are coordinated, with a focus on the spatial domains and oscillatory molecular signals involved, while highlighting the potential for regenerative therapeutic strategies.

Pumpkin seeds may help expel parasites, but findings are retracted.

This study presents a rare case of alopecia totalis occurring after the use of permanent hair dye.

This review discusses the link between metabolic syndrome and various inflammatory skin diseases and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the importance of recognizing skin manifestations as early indicators of systemic metabolic disorders.

In this case study, the progression of alopecia universalis in a Japanese man was linked to the involvement of Th1 and Th17 cells, suggesting an autoimmune mechanism.

This article discusses the immune privilege in hair follicles and suggests that restoring its collapse might be an effective strategy for treating alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review examines studies from 2019-2022 on dietary treatments for skin diseases, highlighting various foods and supplements that may aid in managing conditions like acne, psoriasis, and alopecia areata.

This pilot study found elevated levels of leptin and other proinflammatory molecules in the serum of melanoma patients, suggesting a potential role for leptin in melanoma progression and a possibility for targeting it in adjuvant therapy.

This case report suggests an association between the use of Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and the development of alopecia universalis in a diabetic patient.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, serum granulysin levels decreased significantly after treatment with tofacitinib and correlated with reduced disease severity, suggesting serum granulysin as an indicator of immunological activity and response to therapy.

This case report documents the development of vitiligo-like lesions in a patient with autoimmune thyroiditis following the use of topical squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia.

This case study reported significant clinical improvement in a 26-year-old male with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp after treatment with upadacitinib, suggesting that JAK inhibitors may be a promising option for refractory cases, where standard treatments have limited success.

This study reviews current treatments for alopecia areata, highlighting that despite various options like corticosteroids and immunosuppressives, their limited efficacy and potential side effects are challenges, while targeting specific cytokines has shown promise except with TNF inhibitors, which may worsen the condition.

This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

This study found that anagen stage protein homogenates and specific epitopes from melanogenesis proteins activated CD8 T cells, suggesting alopecia areata is an anagen-specific disease.

This review highlights that surface mechanical regulation can program macrophage behavior through specific mechanical cues on material surfaces, potentially advancing immunotherapies and regenerative medicine by enabling precise control over macrophage functions.

This study found that a newly developed supramolecular FPC hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, making it a promising material for wilderness first aid due to its storage convenience, sprayability, and ability to speed up wound recovery.

In this study, researchers developed iron-curcumin-coordinated nanoparticles to enhance curcumin's bioavailability and therapeutic effects, finding that these nanoparticles accelerate wound healing in diabetic mice by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress more effectively than free curcumin.

This study demonstrated that SHFKO significantly accelerated healing in acute radiation-induced skin injuries, with mechanisms involving apoptosis inhibition, suppression of inflammation, and restoration of ROS balance, suggesting its potential as a novel multi-target therapy for radiodermatitis.

This study examines the role of immune phenotypes and cytokines in the development of pathological scars, providing insights that may aid in early identification and treatment strategies for these scars.

This study found that human placental extract significantly improved melasma, chronic ulcers, and alopecia areata without major adverse effects, suggesting its effectiveness and safety for these conditions.

This study found that treating male rats with human hair follicle stem cells improved memory function impaired by streptozotocin and increased both neurotrophic and inflammatory markers, suggesting potential neuroprotective effects in this model.
