This study found that lupus discoid lesions on the scalp are more common in females and are associated with a higher incidence of other autoimmune diseases compared to lesions in other areas.

This review highlights the challenges in treating alopecia areata, noting that current therapies often lead to relapse and have uncertain long-term effectiveness; it also points to potential future treatments such as JAK-STAT inhibitors and PRP.

In this study, researchers identified a mutation in mice that causes hair loss and immune system issues, located on chromosome 18.

This preclinical study found that exercise-induced extracellular vesicles delayed breast cancer tumor growth in mice, potentially by enhancing the immune response within the tumor microenvironment.

In this review, researchers discussed the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of metformin and hypothesized that its topical application could benefit those with alopecia areata, given its effects on immune pathways, hair regrowth, and autoimmune disease management.

This study reports an improved method for determining blood type from human hair using immunohistochemistry.

In this case report, a 45-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus underwent a six-month integrative naturopathic and yoga program while continuing conventional treatment, aiming to document improvements in disease management and patient well-being.

Organizations help patients access discounts for expensive dermatology medications.

This review discusses the shift in toxicity profiles of cancer therapies from traditional chemotherapy to targeted agents, noting similar overall toxicities but with different side effects, and reports no new findings.

This review summarizes current knowledge on tight junctions in mammalian skin and their role in drug delivery and interaction with other barrier components, but reports no new experimental results.

This review explores the structural and functional sex differences in mammals beyond reproductive organs, highlighting variations in life expectancy, organ size, metabolism, and immune function, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the potential causes and treatments for alopecia in nonhuman primates, emphasizing the need for comprehensive testing before attributing hair loss to stress.

This review discusses the development and use of various animal models for studying psoriasis, highlighting their strengths and limitations, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses newer therapeutic techniques for treating postacne scarring, highlighting their effectiveness for particular grades of scars, and reports no new clinical results.

This retrospective study documented various skin diseases in alpacas, reporting bacterial infections as the most common, along with other conditions described for the first time.

This manuscript reviews the latest understanding of alopecia areata's pathogenesis, highlighting the roles of genetic, immunological, and environmental factors, with a focus on immune responses involving IFN-γ and cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells as key contributors to hair follicle inflammation and function disruption without follicle destruction.

This study observed two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing on preexisting vitiligo, suggesting a potential causal link between the two conditions.

This study found that ICAM-1 expression in murine skin is developmentally regulated and crucial for skin and hair follicle remodeling beyond its recognized role in immune responses.

This review presents an evidence-based algorithm for managing hidradenitis suppurativa in primary care, highlighting the need for more research on treatment effectiveness and the disease's pathogenesis.
