April 2018 in “Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia” This article reviews the prevalence, causes, and associated conditions of hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, but reports no new clinical findings.
August 2026 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This review synthesizes current knowledge on acral vitiligo, highlighting its treatment resistance, psychosocial impact, and emerging therapies like JAK inhibitors, while identifying knowledge gaps and future research directions.
December 2025 in “Mycoses” In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.
November 2025 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” This study identified elevated CD25 on secreting CD4 regulatory T cells as a genetic risk factor for androgenetic alopecia, with certain plasma proteins acting as mediators in this causal relationship.
November 2025 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study found that specific immune cell phenotypes, particularly CD25 on CD4 Treg cells, were causally linked to androgenic alopecia, suggesting potential targets for immune-based therapies.
November 2025 in “The Journal of Immunology” In this study, researchers observed elevated levels of epidermal γδ T cells, keratinocytes, and an upregulation of the BST2 gene among immune cells in C3H/HeJ mice with alopecia areata, suggesting a potential role in disease pathogenesis.
September 2025 in “Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology” In this study, researchers found no significant differences in serum levels of ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin D, or thyroid function between patients with scarring alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting these factors may not play a major role in the disease's pathogenesis.
June 2025 in “Universities Journal of Phytochemistry and Ayurvedic Heights” This study evaluated the wedelolactone content and antimicrobial activity of Eclipta alba and Wedelia chinensis extracts, finding a potential relationship between the concentration of wedelolactone and their in vitro antimicrobial effects against several pathogenic bacteria and yeast.
May 2025 in “International Journal of Dermatology”
This review discusses how herbal therapies may help manage alopecia and improve quality of life, noting their potential benefits like lower cost and fewer side effects, but emphasizes that more clinical studies are needed for validation.
October 2024 in “Archives of Dermatological Research”
September 2024 in “Ain Shams Medical Journal” This review discusses the prevalence, pathogenesis, and treatments of androgenic alopecia but reports no new research findings; the authors emphasize the need for further exploration of novel treatment options.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that tissue transcriptomics and a normalization approach can effectively cluster nine inflammatory skin diseases and identify specific biomarkers, including PTEN as a marker for cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
January 2023 in “Annals of dermatology/Annals of Dermatology” This study found that overexpression of miR-1246 in peripheral CD4+ T cells can reduce markers associated with inflammation and T cell activation in severe active alopecia areata, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.
November 2022 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that skin organoids derived from iPSCs with an HS-associated NCSTN mutation showed defects in hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of inflammatory proteins related to hidradenitis suppurativa.
March 2022 in “Wound practice & research” This review synthesizes current evidence on alopecia areata, detailing its clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options, but does not present new clinical results.
June 2021 in “International Journal of Biosciences (IJB)” This study reports that both aqueous and methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens flowers demonstrated antibacterial activity against selected bacteria, indicating potential as antibacterial agents.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Arg1+ macrophages may play a role in causing alopecia areata.
June 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Hair shaft malformation contributes to Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that in alopecia areata, innate lymphoid cells type 1 may contribute to the disease’s pathogenesis by inducing hair follicle changes similarly to CD8+ T cells.
In this study, researchers observed that dysregulated innate lymphoid cells type 1, alongside CD8+ T cells, may contribute to the pathogenesis of alopecia areata by affecting hair follicle health.
December 2018 in “International journal of women’s dermatology” This study found significant alterations in the scalp and gut microbiome of patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to systemic inflammation and autoimmune response.
May 2017 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”
December 2010 in “Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii” This article reviews molecular and genetic mechanisms in the development of androgenic alopecia and examines the relationship between androgen receptor gene polymorphism and androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.
