This study found that human epidermal keratinocytes express a functional μ-opiate receptor at both the mRNA and protein levels, potentially playing a role in skin physiology and pathology.

This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.

This review examined the role of the ion channel TRPV3 in warmth sensation and skin physiology, discussing controversies around its direct contribution to temperature perception, its involvement in skin health, and its potential as a therapeutic target for skin diseases.

This study found that subjective scalp sensations like hurting and burning are common among alopecia patients, with burning in particular showing a significant association with psychological distress in patients with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a potential psychoneuroinflammatory pathway.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to evaluating scalp itch using the SCALLP acronym and highlights the importance of classifying cases based on the presence of dermatological lesions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study confirmed that the Alopecia Areata-Investigator Global Assessment and other clinical outcome assessments are valid and relevant measures of treatment success for alopecia areata patients in Japan, aligning with previous North American findings.

This review identifies several off-label uses of H-1 antihistamines in dermatology beyond itch and urticaria control, though the evidence is weak and further trials are needed.

Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.

Patients with nonmelanoma skin cancers are most bothered by fear of progression, appearance concerns, and having cancer.

This review discusses the functions and potential therapeutic targeting of TRP ion channels in the skin, noting their involvement in both physiological processes and various pathological conditions, but reports no new experimental results.

This review supports iron deficiency anemia as a valid cause of chronic generalized pruritus and suggests potential mechanisms by which iron deficiency may lead to pruritus, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the use of two emollients significantly reduced itching severity in individuals with xerotic eczema, starting 30 minutes post-application, and improved skin moisture and lipid content over 14 days, while demonstrating good tolerance with few adverse events.

This study identified a subtype of itch-sensing neurons in mice, which express Ret and somatostatin, and found that their ablation reduces scratching induced by certain pruritogens.

This study found that illness perception, as measured by the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire, was significantly associated with health-related quality of life in patients with primary cutaneous T- and B-cell lymphomas.

In this study, researchers explored various aspects of the TRPV3 ion channel, including its novel mechanosensitivity to shear stress, and identified novel agonists while investigating how repeated stimulation affects TRPV3 activity, but found no evidence of GPCRs sensitizing the channel.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

This review discusses the neurobiology and proposed mechanisms of scalp itch, but it does not report new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

This review discusses current knowledge about the TRPV3 ion channel's role in skin functions and diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for pain and itch, though suitable ligands are limited.

This study observed seasonal trends in Poland's Google searches for dermatology-related terms and noted a decrease in searches for sexually transmitted diseases despite rising infection rates, highlighting a need for better sexual education.

This study found that Transcutol-containing vesicles improved the delivery of minoxidil to deeper skin layers in vitro but did not facilitate its permeation through the skin.

This study found that TikTok provides valuable insights into experiences with lupus erythematosus, highlighting distress from symptoms, negative perceptions of pharmacologic treatments, and issues with feeling "medically gaslighted.

In this population-based study, researchers reported that nearly half of Greek adults experienced at least one skin condition in the past year, with significant impacts on quality of life, work decisions, and perceptions of stigmatization.

This study observed that patient-physician alignment on alopecia areata severity largely followed Japanese Dermatological Association criteria, yet alignment on treatment satisfaction was lower, with lack of efficacy as the main dissatisfaction reason.

The project aimed to understand how genetic test results affect patients' actions and feelings in dermatology.

Hair care products are important for appearance and self-esteem, and choosing the right ones can help maintain healthy hair.

This review discusses the developmental and psychological significance of skin and emphasizes the need for considering stress effects when evaluating and treating psychocutaneous diseases, without reporting new clinical results.

Mindfulness reduces anxiety and depression in skin disease patients; dermatologists and psychiatrists often lack confidence in treating psychodermatological conditions.

This review discusses how menopause and hormone replacement therapy affect skin aging in women but reports no new clinical findings.

This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
