June 2021 in “EBioMedicine” This paper reports no new results; it addresses the effects of Dutasteride on testosterone and DHT in men, and discusses the implications for androgen deprivation and COVID-19 outcomes.
In this study, researchers discovered that the HrasG12V oncogenic mutation in murine skin epithelial cells initially promotes progenitor cell renewal but later leads to a balanced differentiation, stabilizing clone growth.
This study observed that nevus melanocytes do not exhibit signs of senescence, suggesting that their growth arrest is due to cell interactions and not directly caused by BRAF activation.
This study found that IL18 signaling plays a crucial role in the homing and retention of mature regulatory T cells in the mouse thymus, primarily by upregulating the chemokine receptor CCR6.
February 2020 in “Journal of Physics Conference Series” This study found that laser hair removal is optimal for light to moderate skin tones using 10-15 J/cm² at 755 nm and for dark skin with 4.5-10 J/cm² at 755-1064 nm.
In this study, activation of Hedgehog signaling in both epithelial and stromal cells induced new hair follicles in adult mouse skin, but also resulted in the formation of tumors.
This study found that S1PR1 signaling in mouse aortic endothelial cells varied by location and subtype, influencing inflammatory and lymphangiogenic gene expression through distinct molecular pathways.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, dose-response modeling predicted that once-daily abrocitinib doses of 100 mg and 200 mg may provide a clinically meaningful response in treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis compared to placebo.
August 2019 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study concluded that placebo effects observed in older alopecia minoxidil studies are likely due to subjective hair count assessments and study design, rather than true improvements in hair growth.
This study identified Activin A and its antagonist follistatin as crucial regulators of hair cell differentiation in mice, suggesting a local gradient of Activin A influences auditory sensory epithelium development.
March 2019 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This abstract describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal, which publishes peer-reviewed articles on cosmetic and reconstructive skin surgery, but reports no new clinical findings.
This study found that upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles are specialized for nerve interactions, crucial for forming tactile sensory units, and influence touch responses via EGFL6 and αv integrin pathways.
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.
This study found that IL-1α and IL-7 secreted from keratinocytes in a genetically engineered mouse model can stimulate the expansion of γδT-cells, aiding in the proliferation of epidermal stem cells for wound healing.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found that while 450nm blue light can inhibit collagen and induce oxidative stress in dermal fibroblasts, 850nm near-infrared light may enhance metabolic activity without causing oxidative damage, suggesting potential for tailored light therapies in skin treatments.
This study found that type XVII collagen (COL17) regulates interfollicular epidermis proliferation in both neonatal and aged mice through Wnt signaling, suggesting its potential as a target for anti-aging skin strategies.
This study found that loss of the DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a, but not Dnmt3b, increased carcinogen-induced squamous tumors in murine epidermis, with combined deletion leading to more aggressive and metastatic carcinomas.
This study found that deleting the Mad2l1 gene in mice leads to rapid onset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and liver cancer due to induced chromosomal instability.
In this study, Smad4 deletion in satellite cells hindered skeletal muscle regeneration in adult mice and did not enhance regeneration in aged mice, indicating Smad4's crucial role in muscle repair.
This review discusses the complex process of wound healing and emerging areas of interest in wound treatment, reporting no new clinical findings.
Defective protein folding due to a mutation is key in ANE syndrome.
This study found that super-enhancers play a crucial role in driving malignant progression in squamous cell carcinoma stem cells through a regulatory network involving ETS2 transcription factors, highlighting the potential link between high ETS2 levels and poor patient outcomes in head and neck cancers.
May 2015 in “Immunology Endocrine & Metabolic Agents - Medicinal Chemistry” This study suggests that vitamin D and calcium signaling are crucial for normal wound healing, with deficiencies in these pathways potentially delaying recovery due to diminished stem cell activity and response.
May 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Minoxidil response testing helps predict hair growth success.

February 1986 in “Archives of Dermatology” This study found that 5% topical minoxidil solution led to greater hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata patients compared to 1% minoxidil, although most regrowth was not cosmetically acceptable.

January 2013 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology” This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is effective for treating localized patchy alopecia areata, with dermoscopy aiding in early detection of clinical response and adverse effects.

June 2023 in “Biomedicines” This review examined how COVID-19 infection and vaccination might affect sexual activity, sex hormones, and menstrual cycles in men and women, and found no evidence of COVID-19 transmission via semen.

September 2020 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This study suggests that apremilast shows prolonged efficacy for up to 2 years in hidradenitis suppurativa patients who initially responded to the treatment, although further verification in a larger cohort is needed.
