September 2024 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” Tofacitinib helped a woman regrow her hair without relapses after other treatments failed.
December 2024 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” This pilot study involving 30 Indian patients demonstrated that dermoscopy is an effective tool for identifying and assessing treatment responses in acne scars, such as icepick, rolling, and boxcar scars. Treatments like subcision, microneedling, and chemical reconstruction significantly improved scars, especially those of shorter duration, by reducing pigmentation and increasing hair follicle density. Histopathological analysis confirmed increased collagen deposition, indicating effective treatment. While no treatment completely cures acne scars, the study underscores the importance of prevention and early intervention, and suggests further research with larger sample sizes to validate dermoscopy's role in managing acne scars.
August 2024 in “Receptors” Vitamin D receptor is crucial for skin wound healing.
67 citations,
July 2016 in “Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders” Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
44 citations,
November 1998 in “Australasian Journal of Dermatology” Accurate diagnosis is key for treating different kinds of hair loss, and immune response variations may affect the condition and treatment results.
29 citations,
February 2007 in “Hormone and metabolic research” Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
