This study found that PX-12 inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome and reduced psoriasis-like symptoms in a mouse model, suggesting its potential as a treatment for psoriasis.
research Clinical Features and Current Therapeutic Approaches to Monilethrix: A Systematic Review
This systematic review identified topical and oral minoxidil as the most effective treatments for monilethrix, but noted the varying efficacy of oral retinoids and other treatments.
research FEA-guided co-design of bubble microneedles: controlled tip separation for rapid transdermal and sublingual delivery
This study found that finite element analysis-guided design improved bubble microneedles' controlled tip separation and insertion strength, supporting effective transdermal and sublingual drug delivery.
research A case of monilethrix caused by novel compound heterozygous mutations in the desmoglein 4 (DSG4) gene
This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.
research Skin wounds in the MRL/MPJ mouse heal with scar
This study found that MRL/MpJ mouse dorsal skin wounds heal with similar scar formation and collagen deposition as C57bl/6 and Balb/c mice.
research Morbihan disease and extrafacial lupus miliaris disseminatus faceie: a case report
This case report describes a rare concurrence of Morbihan disease with eyelid edema and extrafacial lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei in a patient, noting improvement of truncal lesions with roxithromycin and resolution of eyelid edema following surgical treatment.
research In vivo assessment of mechanical properties during axolotl development and regeneration using confocal Brillouin microscopy
This study used confocal Brillouin microscopy to observe that a decrease in tissue compressibility occurs during the development and regeneration of axolotl limbs, suggesting mechanical changes linked to regeneration stages undetectable by fluorescence microscopy.
research Potassium Channel Openers Increase Aortic Elastic Fiber Formation and Reverse the Genetically Determined Elastin Deficit in the BN Rat
The authors concluded that diazoxide reduces undesirable side effects compared to minoxidil while increasing elastic fiber content and decreasing cell number in the aorta, suggesting potential suitability for treating vascular conditions with low arterial elastin and hypertension.
research Minoxidil May be a Partial Agonist of Estrogen Receptor Alpha
In this study, researchers explored whether minoxidil, a common treatment for androgenetic alopecia, may have estrogenic activity and found preliminary evidence suggesting it could act as a partial agonist of Estrogen Receptor α (ERα).
research A simple immunofluorescence technique for simultaneous visualization of mast cells and nerve fibers reveals selectivity and hair cycle - dependent changes in mast cell - nerve fiber contacts in murine skin
The researchers reported that mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin are highly selective for nerve fiber types and vary depending on the hair cycle phase.
