July 2020 in “Journal of Biomedical Translational Research” This study found that forelimb amputation in raccoon dogs with severe limb injuries resulted in satisfactory three-limb function, enabling them to run faster and maintain good body condition post-operation.
December 2024 in “CONICET Digital (CONICET)” This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.
January 2025 in “Ciência Rural” This case study reports a cutaneous adverse drug reaction in a dog caused by prolonged topical exposure to benzyl benzoate, leading to irritant contact dermatitis, but healing occurred within three weeks after changing treatment.
2 citations
,
February 2004 in “Biopolymers” This study found that 4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives may act as antioxidants by scavenging certain reactive oxygen species but exhibit prooxidant behavior under specific conditions.

June 1992 in “PubMed” This study found that RAR-gamma 1 mRNA is present in multiple skin layers and structures, suggesting a role in maintaining and differentiating normal epidermis and skin appendages.
Ritlecitinib significantly regrows scalp hair in people with alopecia areata.
August 2026 in “Clinical Case Reports” In this case report, a patient with diffuse alopecia areata experienced complete hair regrowth after treatment with oral abrocitinib, with no adverse effects observed.
This study suggests that the ANE syndrome mutation in yeast Nop4, analogous to human RBM28, disrupts protein folding and protein-protein interactions, contributing to ribosomal dysfunction.
June 2026 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This audit of ritlecitinib prescribing for severe alopecia areata found that regional practices largely followed national guidelines but highlighted the need for better psychological assessments and more consistent use of SALT scoring to inform treatment continuation decisions after 36 weeks.
October 2023 in “Psychiatry research. Case reports” In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.
August 2012 in “Nature Cell Biology” In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.
July 2023 in “Hair transplant forum international” This abstract provides information about the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery as the only internationally accepted certifying body for hair restoration surgeons, but it reports no new research results.
127 citations
,
July 2002 in “EMBO journal” This study found that RXRα/RARγ heterodimers are necessary for retinoic acid-induced keratinocyte proliferation in the skin, while normal epidermal maintenance does not require RAR-mediated signaling.
7 citations
,
January 2015 in “Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin” This study found that a 16-week dermal application of rice bran extract significantly increased hair density and diameter in male androgenic alopecia patients without causing adverse reactions.

May 2023 in “Journal of the American Statistical Association” This study applied a novel Cox regression subsampling method to massive datasets, demonstrated using UK-biobank colorectal cancer data, effectively reducing computation time and memory usage while building a risk-prediction model under certain conditions involving right-censored and potentially left-truncated data with rare events.
January 2024 in “American journal of clinical dermatology” This study reports that ritlecitinib, when used for up to 24 months in patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata, has an acceptable safety profile, with a similar proportion of adverse events in both ritlecitinib and placebo groups in the placebo-controlled cohort.
July 2026 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” July 2026 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” In this study, patients with treatment-refractory alopecia areata who received oral ritlecitinib 50 mg daily experienced significant hair regrowth, with 52.6% achieving complete scalp regrowth and improved Severity of Alopecia Tool scores, indicating its potential effectiveness in real-world settings.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.
