August 2025 in “MedScien” This study explores the design of responsive drug carriers based on the tumor microenvironment to improve targeting and reduce side effects in cancer treatment, using a model of delivering curcumin with a responsive polymer carrier and evaluating potential errors due to cancer cell heterogeneity.
July 2025 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” In this study, a patient with severe alopecia areata showed significant hair regrowth after 15 months of partial response to baricitinib and oral minoxidil, following the addition of dupilumab to their treatment regimen.
In this study, researchers used two dermal papilla spheroid models to investigate hair cycle regression mechanisms and found that the vascular system enhances tissue physiology and gene modulation, while Retinol-based treatments can partially recover tissue degeneration observed over an extended culture period.
July 2025 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This study found that patients with alopecia areata showing low treatment burden responded better to baricitinib compared to those with higher previous systemic treatment exposure.
May 2025 in “Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that 45.5% of alopecia areata patients treated with ritlecitinib 50 mg daily achieved significant hair regrowth, with most maintaining their response over 24 months.
March 2025 in “MINAR International Journal of Applied Sciences and Technology” This study reviewed evidence on the role of specific genes (FKBP12, SAMAHD1, TRF2, CD155, and GATA3) in predicting how breast cancer patients might respond to adjuvant chemotherapy, aiming to monitor these markers in blood or tissue samples.
