June 2012 in “Annales d'Endocrinologie” This review discusses the range and causes of adipose tissue diseases, emphasizing genetic and acquired forms of lipodystrophy, but it reports no new clinical results.
This study utilized a mouse model of traumatic brain injury to reveal that acute neurotrauma triggers widespread lipid metabolism reprogramming and storage lipid accumulation in microglial and monocyte populations, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, inhibited autophagy, and exacerbated inflammation through a pathological feedback loop.
September 2024 in “Drugs & Therapy Perspectives” In this study, ritlecitinib, an oral medication approved for adolescents and adults, significantly reduced scalp hair loss and promoted eyebrow and eyelash regrowth in severe alopecia areata patients, with benefits sustained over 48 weeks and generally well-tolerated minor side effects.
