This article discusses inflammatory perifollicular fibrosis and alopecia but provides no new research findings.

In this study, patients with androgenetic alopecia showed no difference in insulin resistance or prevalence of metabolic syndrome but had higher cardiovascular risk due to increased inflammatory markers and lipoprotein(a) levels.

A woman with a drug allergy to anakinra was successfully desensitized, allowing her to continue treatment without allergic reactions.

This study found that interleukin-10 deficiency in B6 mice led to inflammatory milk production due to maternal stress, causing alopecia and hepatocyte steatosis in pups.

Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.

This letter discusses a case of Hepatitis C-related vitiligo in a patient with Ivemark syndrome and presents no new clinical results.

This study of photobiomodulation therapy devices for androgenetic alopecia found variable improvements in hair grade across different skin types and devices, suggesting a need for larger, more comprehensive trials.

This case report describes an 18-year-old woman with a pruritic rash featuring extensive confluent scaly erythema, hyperkeratotic follicular plugging, and waxy keratoderma on palms and soles.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced symptom severity scores in patients with inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome, though its effect on pain was not significant.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis in a 19-year-old male, initially misdiagnosed as dissecting cellulitis, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis to prevent scarring alopecia.

This review discusses the effects of photobiomodulation, particularly its potential to reduce inflammation in various conditions, but it does not report new clinical findings.

In this study, nearly 5% of anti-TNF-treated patients with IBD developed psoriasiform skin lesions, with smoking identified as a main risk factor, and ustekinumab proved highly effective in severe cases.

This study found that short-chain fatty acids produced by the skin microbe Propionibacterium acnes may drive inflammatory gene expression in sebocytes, potentially contributing to acne.

This study found that disrupting inflammasome signaling by eliminating caspase-1 and -11 in mice reduced skin inflammation and delayed the onset of disease, highlighting their role in skin disease pathogenesis.

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 study found that among Japanese IBD patients, the NUDT15 p.Arg139Cys variant was significantly associated with thiopurine-induced leukopenia and severe hair loss, suggesting its genotyping is important for predicting these adverse events.

This study found that Schistosoma mansoni cercariae stimulate epidermal keratinocytes in mice, initiating pro-inflammatory responses and barrier repair mechanisms akin to those in wound healing.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, xanthine oxidase activity is a useful marker for oxidative stress and is positively correlated with inflammatory markers and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

In this mouse study, NF-κB was shown to play a role in hair follicle cycling and morphogenesis, with specific activity patterns differing by hair type and involving noncanonical signaling for zigzag hair bending.

This study found that a composition including Serenoa repens extract and anti-inflammatory agents effectively suppressed inflammation-related gene expression in a keratinocyte model, suggesting a potential dual strategy for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the various potential causes of hair loss in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including telogen effluvium from disease flares, but provides no prevalence data; the authors outline a practical assessment and management approach.

In this ex vivo and mouse model study, Tofacitinib-loaded nanoparticles demonstrated enhanced delivery of the drug into hair follicles and reduced inflammatory effects compared to conventional forms, indicating potential for safer, topical use in treating alopecia areata.

This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.

This study found that certain compounds from Chaga mushrooms stimulated the proliferation of human hair follicle cells more effectively than minoxidil, suggesting potential for hair-growth treatments.

In this study, low-level light therapy using a new helmet-type device significantly increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia, showing no adverse events or side effects, suggesting it may be a safe and effective treatment option for both sexes.

This study reports that two mouse models of scarring alopecia exhibit similar patterns of hair loss progression despite histological differences in inflammatory cell localization and MHC class I expression.

This study found that Wnt5a expression may suppress cell differentiation and induce an inflammatory response in HaCaT keratinocytes, which could be relevant to psoriasis development.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.

This study reports that mutations in human L-PGDS affect the entrance and exit of ligands in its binding cavity, suggesting these residues play a role in ligand interaction processes.

This systematic review found that chitosan-based wound therapy may accelerate wound healing by reducing inflammation and modulating immune response, but notes limited clinical trials to date.
