In this case report, treatment with anifrolumab led to significant improvement in symptoms for a 52-year-old woman with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus, including resolution of chronic lupus headaches resistant to previous therapies.

This review discusses the role of defensin peptides in stem cell activation for potential skin rejuvenation therapies and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further studies.

This study suggests that melatonin plays a role in hair follicle function by modulating growth and pigmentation, and it may act as a protective agent in active hair growth phases.

This review examines recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting two major genetic risk loci, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses keratin disorders and potential RNA interference therapeutics, reporting no new clinical findings but highlighting the promise of siRNA for future treatments.

Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.

This study found that prostaglandin metabolism enzymes are present in human hair follicles, suggesting a potential role in hair growth and differentiation, with some expression differences between men and women.

This study validated the VQ-Dermato, the first dermatology-specific quality of life instrument in French, and found it to be reliable, acceptable for routine use, and more responsive than the SF36.

This study found that coadministration of pimecrolimus may interfere with the therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell therapy in atopic dermatitis.

This article reviews the impact of aging and related urologic conditions on male fertility, highlighting the effects of various treatments on sperm parameters and recommending pre-treatment counseling for fertility preservation. It reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that RNA interference targeting mutant keratin genes can effectively correct hair shaft structural defects in a mouse model by reducing mutant gene expression.

This study found that the circular RNA circCOL1A1 influences the formation of superior-quality brush hair in white goats by regulating hair follicle stem cell behavior and interacting with the miR-149-5p/CMTM3/AR axis.

In this study, finasteride pretreatment led to EEG changes in rats that suggest a mild reduction in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

Cosmeceuticals may benefit skin health but need more research for efficacy and safety confirmation.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of IL-1α compared to healthy controls, with no significant difference observed in IL-1β levels.

This review discusses current and emerging treatments for androgenetic alopecia, covering mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of both androgen-targeted and non-androgen-targeted approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that plasmacytoid dendritic cells are central to the pathogenesis of alopecia areata, suggesting they may help differentiate it from trichotillomania and androgenetic alopecia.

This case study describes the successful use of recombinant feline interferon-omega in managing feline chronic gingivostomatitis syndrome in cats with type II diabetes, where long-acting corticosteroids are contraindicated.

This paper discusses the challenges of diagnosing drug eruptions, emphasizing the nonspecific patterns and unclear pathomechanisms, and calls for further research using new biologic drugs to understand these reactions better.

This study observed that among male patients who experienced telogen effluvium after platelet-rich plasma treatment for androgenic alopecia, there were elevated levels of TNF-α, androgen receptors, and altered 5α-reductase gene expression, suggesting these factors as potential contributors to this unintended outcome.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study suggests that Notch1 acts as a key signal in skin epithelium, promoting immune cell recruitment and aiding in normal skin repair after damage.

This study highlights the evolving understanding of acne's pathophysiology and suggests that targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-17, IL-23, and TNFα with biological antibodies may offer new treatment strategies for severe acne and its scars.

This study found that the PSEN1-P242LfsX11 mutation in hidradenitis suppurativa influences cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages, potentially affecting inflammatory responses.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

In this study, researchers reported that the Pinkie mutation in mice, affecting RXRa activity, leads to skewed Th1 development and suggests RXRa's role in Th2 differentiation, impacting immune responses.

This review discusses common skin eruptions caused by biologics in treating inflammatory bowel disease and proposes tailored therapeutic approaches for managing these adverse reactions.

This study found that red ginseng oil may enhance hair growth and protect skin from UV damage in mouse models by promoting regenerative processes and reducing inflammation.

This study documented the progression of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointers and found generally poor responses to therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs and a TNF-α inhibitor.

This study presents a reported case where dupilumab treatment for atopic dermatitis led to improvement in alopecia universalis.
