April 2023 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that deleting Ube2n in adult mouse skin leads to inflammation and other skin changes, and identifies IRAK1/4 as potential treatment targets for inflammatory skin disorders.
January 2024 in “Wiadomości Lekarskie” This study found that kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty leads to a higher proportion of patients requiring smaller femoral components compared to traditional mechanical alignment, with statistical significance observed in femoral sizing differences between the two groups.
JAK inhibitors, like baricitinib and ritlecitinib, show promise in treating alopecia areata effectively and safely.
March 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.
