This study investigated how keratinocytes in the skin respond to different iron levels and found they play a significant role in regulating iron homeostasis by storing iron, affecting epidermal differentiation, and influencing inflammation-related gene expression in mice.

This review discusses the formation of gintonin LPAs in ginseng during processing and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest potential benefits against degenerative diseases through LPA receptors.

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

In this study, researchers developed a predictive model for the onset of alopecia areata by analyzing six datasets to identify key feature genes and employing various machine learning algorithms, ultimately finding the XGBoost model most effective for clinical application.

This background review discusses alopecia areata, highlighting the role of CD8+NKG2D+ T cells in hair follicle pathogenesis, and notes that the exact mechanisms causing hair loss remain unclear.

This review discusses the interactions between immune cells and the skin epithelium and their impact on maintaining barrier function, emphasizing the potential to enhance epithelial barrier function in inflammatory diseases.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, linked to specific hair follicle antigens and genetic factors.

This review discusses advances in understanding the mechanisms behind radiation-induced skin reactions, highlighting recent insights into the roles of stem cells and immune cells in injury mitigation and late carcinogenesis, as reported in the context of ionizing radiation exposure.

In this study, researchers found that loss of OGG1 in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus increased IFN-driven immune responses and aggravated skin lesions, suggesting a protective role for OGG1 in SLE skin disease.

This study found that co-administering sasam-Kyeongokgo with gefitinib enhanced gefitinib's anti-tumor activity and exhibited favorable anti-cachexia effects in mice with non-small-cell lung cancer.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with alopecia areata who developed new central nervous system demyelination after starting tofacitinib therapy; while the drug was associated with this neurological event, causality is not confirmed. The demyelination was reversible upon stopping the medication and administering corticosteroids.

In this study, infants born to mothers with alopecia areata had a higher risk of adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, Caesarean section, and congenital malformations.

In this study, researchers used a murine model of irritant contact dermatitis to reveal that hair follicle regions serve as key sites for neutrophil transepidermal migration, which requires MMP-9 expression stimulated by dermal monocytes.

This source discusses the potential of topical JAK inhibitors, like tofacitinib, as effective treatments for autoimmune skin diseases, emphasizing their superior safety profile and minimal adverse effects compared to conventional systemic therapies.

This case report describes a unique occurrence of alopecia totalis resulting in pigmented hair growth over superficial scalp veins in an adult female using augmented betamethasone dipropionate ointment.

This study found that deleting the Hes1 gene disrupts hair regeneration by delaying anagen initiation and shortening the anagen phase, suggesting it's crucial for maintaining hair cycle homeostasis.

This study observed that expanding regulatory T cells in the skin of mice with alopecia areata did not reverse the condition, indicating that additional immunotherapy may be necessary.

This review examines the health benefits of green tea, focusing on catechins, but reports no new findings; the authors emphasize potential benefits for conditions like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

In this study, permanent alopecia after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was found in 16% of patients and was significantly associated with conditioning regimens involving busulphan.

This study reports that tofacitinib, a JAK inhibitor, may stabilize hair loss in patients with classic lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, though hair regrowth was not robust.

A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

This study found that topical cepharanthine increased IGF-I production in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting it may stimulate hair growth and be a promising treatment option for androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the role of ferritin in iron homeostasis and its potential utility in diagnosing iron deficiency as a cause of hair loss, while noting that ferritin's impact on skin and hair disorders is not fully understood.

This study found that menstrual irregularity is common in women with acromegaly, with high GH levels, estrogen deficiency, and larger tumors correlating with more severe irregularity.

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

This study found that the 11R-No. 10 peptide, delivered transdermally, significantly inhibited melanogenesis and produced a whitening effect in a UV-induced sun-tanning guinea pig model without cytotoxicity.

This study found that patients with vitiligo had significantly lower serum BDNF levels compared to healthy controls, which may relate to the condition's etiology or its association with psychiatric disorders.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) promoted hair growth in diabetic mice, suggesting iNOS-derived nitric oxide contributes to hair loss under diabetic inflammatory conditions.

This study found that NNAT is localized in both undifferentiated and differentiated cells across various rat tissues and has cell-specific intracellular localization, suggesting distinct functional roles.

This study found that women with mixed alopecia exhibited significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to those with metabolic alopecia, with these emotional disturbances closely linked to heightened mental maladaptation.
