This study concluded that heterozygous NFKB2 mutations lead to a distinct and severe form of primary immunodeficiency with early onset, primarily T cell-mediated autoimmunity, and impaired B-cell differentiation.

This study found that thalidomide increased peripheral lymphocyte counts and reduced inflammation in lupus erythematosus patients, but was associated with polyneuropathy, suggesting careful use in refractory cases.

This study found that Arabs with systemic lupus erythematosus in Dubai exhibit clinical features similar to SLE patients in other Arab and Western countries, with notable high prevalence of positive anti-Ro antibodies.

This study characterized a novel form of mural folliculitis in dogs, resembling human pseudopelade, marked by persistent alopecia, lymphocyte infiltration, and severe follicular atrophy without effective treatment response.

This review characterizes breast implant illness and its autoimmune symptoms, reporting an association between breast implants and autoimmune diseases, with explantation relieving symptoms in over half of patients.

In this study, SLE was found to be uncommon among patients with rheumatological complaints in Uganda, with a notable overlap with rheumatoid arthritis and frequent presentation of complications.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone compared to healthy controls, suggesting a link between hormone levels and the disease.

This study on women aged 18–40 with polycystic ovary syndrome reported that a three-month treatment involving dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, and supplements significantly improved ovulation, menstrual regularity, BMI, and reduced hirsutism, acne, and certain immune factors compared to pre-treatment and control groups.

This study found that a treatment regimen including dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, Glucophage or Metformin, and nutritional supplements significantly improved hormonal and immune markers and reduced clinical symptoms like ovulation and menstrual disorders in PCOS patients over three months.

This study found that mRNA booster vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2 increased protective antibodies without worsening autoimmune disease activity in patients with pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid.

This study found that among mixed connective tissue disease patients in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan, Raynaud phenomenon was the most common clinical feature, present in 80% of patients.

This article discusses the structure and function of the skin's layers, cell types, and tumor development, without reporting new clinical findings, and highlights the growing incidence of skin cancer.

This article discusses the structure and function of the skin, the etiology and increasing incidence of skin cancer, and the types and prevalence of malignant skin tumors, but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews the role of androgen in male pattern hair loss and its impact on hair follicle miniaturization, but it does not present new research findings.

Regulatory T cells help prevent autoimmunity and have potential for treating autoimmune diseases.

This review discusses the inflammatory and immunological processes in the skin and reports no new clinical results, highlighting their roles in skin conditions like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and pemphigus.

In this study, researchers investigated the immunohistopathological characteristics of the skin in individuals during the acute phase of chikungunya infection, revealing CHIKV antigens and inflammatory infiltrates in various skin components and highlighting the role of cytokines/chemokines in the disease's skin manifestations.

This study found that proxalutamide improved immunologic, inflammatory, thrombotic, and oxygen markers in both female and male COVID-19 outpatients, which may support its association with lower hospitalization rates compared to standard care.

This study concluded that the CXCL12–CXCR4 signaling pathway significantly contributes to hair loss in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata by promoting inflammation and fibrosis, whereas inhibiting this pathway can restore hair growth and follicle health.

This study in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients found significant gender differences, with males exhibiting more serositis, higher anti-DNA antibody prevalence, and renal involvement, while females experienced more hair loss.

This study suggests that Arabs with systemic lupus erythematosus in Dubai show similar clinical features to patients from other Arab and Western countries, with a notable prevalence of positive anti-Ro antibodies.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

In this study, treating refractory alopecia universalis with low-dose cyclosporine A and prednisolone improved symptoms, with no recurring alopecia six months post-treatment and enhancements in immunologic function.

This study reports two cases of myasthenia gravis patients with thymoma who exhibited various autoimmune symptoms including alopecia, suggesting a link between thymus-related immune dysregulation and comorbid conditions.

This study identified a novel mutation in the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene, contributing to hereditary coproporphyria in a family, with decreased enzyme activity observed in the affected members.

This review examines the potential of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in treating and possibly preventing allergic diseases, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses how ionizing radiation causes skin damage by inducing cellular senescence in keratinocytes, which secrete inflammatory mediators, recruiting immune cells and exacerbating inflammation, impacting the skin barrier function and healing.

This article describes a rare case of alopecia with both scarring and non-scarring features, combining histologic signs of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia with select immunologic features of alopecia areata.

This study found that systemic testosterone exposure in transgender individuals with XX genotype alters skin biology, increasing androgen and estrogen receptor-positive cells, collagen density, and fibronectin expression while reducing immune cells, which could affect surgical outcomes by promoting a male skin phenotype.

This abstract highlights that while treatments for alopecia areata, like corticosteroids and JAK inhibitors, exist, their effectiveness varies and relapses are common, prompting interest in supplementary therapies.
