Tight junctions are key for skin protection and controlling what gets absorbed or passes through the skin.

Nano-Pulse Stimulation™ Therapy is more effective and less damaging than cryoablation for treating melanoma tumors in mice.

A 70-year-old woman with bronchiectasis developed a rare immune disease due to a bacterial infection, requiring a difficult balance of treatments.

Menopause causes significant changes in the vaginal introitus, but less so in the labia majora, which may lead to symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

Red blood cell folate levels are reliable indicators of long-term folate status in alopecia areata patients.

New insights into cell communication in psoriasis suggest innovative drug treatments.

Markers help differentiate between apocrine and eccrine sweat glands to identify sweat gland tumors.

Wnt5a may contribute to psoriasis by reducing skin cell growth, blocking skin cell maturation, and increasing inflammation.

New acne treatments include combination creams, advanced retinoids, and light therapies, focusing on safety and patient adherence.

Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.

Janus kinase inhibitors show promise in treating alopecia areata but need better topical formulations.

Hyaluronic acid injections can improve mouth opening and quality of life in scleroderma patients.

Certain gene variations increase the risk of alopecia areata in Koreans.

Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.

Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.

PDGFA/AKT signaling is important for the growth and maintenance of certain skin fat cells.

Oxidative stress may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata and antioxidants could potentially help as a treatment.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

The document concludes that identifying the specific cells where skin cancers begin is important for creating better prevention, detection, and treatment methods.

Mesenchymal stem cells help improve wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting skin cell growth and movement.

Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.

Mesenchymal stem cells show promise for treating various skin conditions and may help regenerate hair.

The Lexington LaserComb helped regrow hair in mice with a condition similar to human hair loss.

Two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis were successfully treated after identifying risk factors.

Stephen Rothman made important discoveries in dermatology, including the use of PABA in sunscreens, but never profited from his work.

CD8+ T cells play a key role in graft-versus-host disease in certain mice models.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors may help protect the brain and gut in Parkinson's disease.

A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance.

Doctors using Google during patient visits can enhance accuracy and outcomes if done transparently and inclusively.
