This study found that lambertianic acid from Platycladus orientalis leaves may protect against dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by reducing atrophy-related proteins without affecting cell viability.

This study links scalp pruritus in lichen planopilaris and its variants to the inflammation-induced release of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide by sensory nerves around hair follicle inflammation sites.

This study found that a postbiotic derived from hawthorn and probiotics can alleviate loperamide-induced constipation in aged mice by regulating several physiological processes, including intestinal water and sodium metabolism, maintaining gut flora and barrier, reducing inflammation, and enhancing short-chain fatty acid metabolism.

This case report detailed a 31-year-old kidney transplant recipient who experienced significant hair loss linked to tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, which improved after switching to cyclosporine A, emphasizing the importance of awareness and management of hair-related side effects in transplant patients.

This review found that oral JAK inhibitors, used off-label in various inflammatory skin disorders, often resulted in rapid and sustained clinical improvements with acceptable safety over several months, although the evidence is drawn from case-based reports.

In this case report and literature review, researchers observed that black hairy tongue syndrome can be improved by dietary restrictions and local care, identifying factors like antibiotics, malignancies, and certain medications as common triggers, with resolution achieved by eliminating these factors when possible.

In this review, platelet concentrates were found to show comparable efficacy to steroids and immunosuppressive drugs in treating oral lichen planus, with some studies reporting more benefits and others noting more severe adverse reactions with platelet treatments.

This study found that clinicians frequently prefer cyclophosphamide over rituximab for induction therapy of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and ANCA-associated vasculitis, following a high-dose regimen recommended by the NIH.

This case report suggests that tofacitinib may effectively manage symptoms of AGS7 in a patient with an IFIH1 mutation, though further studies are needed to confirm its long-term safety and efficacy.

This case report describes the first successful use of telitacicept in treating a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option for such conditions.

This case report describes a 33-year-old woman with both subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and onychomycosis, highlighting the importance of excluding infections and considering the spectrum of alopecia causes in lupus patients.

This study found that canine pemphigus foliaceus skin lesions exhibit a distinct immune signature, with upregulated pro-inflammatory and Th17-related genes, showing similarities to human pemphigus. Further research using advanced sequencing is needed to better understand the disease's pathogenesis.

This research paper reviews the mechanisms and management of non-biologic immunosuppressive drugs used in dermatology, highlighting their safety profiles and handling during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and vaccination, but does not report specific results on these aspects.

In this study, young albino rats whose mothers received high doses of rosemary extract during lactation showed negative health effects, including inhibited weight gain and organ damage, suggesting potential teratogenicity of rosemary extract when used in such conditions.

This study found that hormone replacement therapy was associated with reduced COVID-19 mortality and adverse outcomes in nonimmunosuppressed postmenopausal women and immunocompromised male solid organ transplant recipients.

This source does not report original research findings but reviews the mechanisms and challenges of immune response and immunosuppressive management in liver transplantation.

This study found that sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract significantly accelerated hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its potential as a safe and effective natural therapy.

This review discusses the unique clinical features, challenges in diagnosis, and treatment protocols of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, noting the overlap with other types of alopecia and the need for further studies.

This study found that sleep deprivation in mice can trigger prostatitis by activating the cGAS-STING pathway due to reduced levels of dihydrotestosterone and melatonin, resulting in a pro-inflammatory environment, while recovery sleep can mitigate these effects.

This review highlights the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a cost-effective solution for tissue restoration and regeneration in ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeries, addressing unmet needs in reconstructive procedures.

This study found that sexual side effects occurred in a small percentage of patients using combined finasteride and minoxidil, but these were not common reasons for discontinuing treatment.

This study found that topical minoxidil significantly enhanced facial hair growth in transgender individuals assigned female at birth undergoing gender affirming hormone therapy, with improvements most notable after six months of use.

This study found that Fgf5 mutant mice exhibited longer hair, particularly in males, likely due to a prolonged anagen phase in the hair cycle.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia also occurs in men, with clinical features and areas of involvement similar to those seen in women, but often affecting sideburns and facial hair.

This study indicates that MAGE-11 modulates androgen receptor transcriptional activity through F-box interactions, independent of the activation function 2 pathway, revealing a novel mechanism for androgen receptor regulation.

This report describes two unusual cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, highlighting potential vaccine-related immune triggers and genetic factors, especially regarding the pronounced facial papular phenotype observed.

This study found that combining basic fibroblast growth factor with minoxidil improved hair treatment efficiency and patient satisfaction compared to minoxidil alone for early-stage androgenetic alopecia in men.

This review discusses the evolution and development of smart and multifunctional microneedles, highlighting their potential future importance in medical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.
