This review discusses the characteristics and potential applications of epidermal stem cells in dermatology, without providing new clinical results.

This study identified significant trends in interest around selective androgen receptor modulators, with increasing attention contrasting stagnant or declining interest in post-cycle therapies and anabolic steroids, and calls for clinicians to use social and prescription data to adjust treatment protocols accordingly.

This study observed that in pediatric patients with alopecia areata, severity of the condition was associated with disease duration, atopy, and nail involvement, but not with anemia.

Hyperandrogenism is diagnosed using clinical signs, lab tests, and imaging.

This retrospective study evaluated demographic characteristics of alopecia areata patients in a Turkish region, finding no significant differences in most lab parameters compared to controls, but higher TSH levels in patients.

This review highlights that deucravacitinib, a selective TYK2 inhibitor, shows promise as an effective treatment for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases, though real-world evidence beyond psoriasis is still emerging.

In this study, neoadjuvant treatment with durvalumab combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with driver gene-negative stage III NSCLC showed a 65% objective response rate and was associated with high pathological response rates and improved immune function, with most adverse events being mild.

This study introduced a novel framework called SL-HyDE that significantly improved zero-shot dense retrieval accuracy in medical information retrieval without relying on labeled data.

In this retrospective study of 133 pediatric patients, topical minoxidil was generally well tolerated for managing androgenetic alopecia, but close monitoring and adherence to treatment, accounting for hormonal and concurrent conditions, were emphasized for effective care.

This study found that there is substantial variability in laboratory testing practices among dermatologists specializing in alopecia areata across the globe, indicating the need for renewed discussions around guidelines for such testing.

In this retrospective study from Jiangsu Province Hospital, researchers reported a high prevalence of pediatric androgenetic alopecia in patients under 18, often associated with hormonal imbalances and comorbid conditions, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans that prioritize addressing hormonal disorders and comorbidities.

In this study, researchers found that an injectable solution of low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and amino acids significantly improved skin rejuvenation and elasticity in the labia majora of post-menopausal women over 12 weeks, with a reported 25% or greater aesthetic improvement and high patient satisfaction.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented.
