In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

In this study, among patients taking hydroxychloroquine for dermatologic or rheumatologic conditions, none developed symptoms suggestive of SARS-CoV-2 infection despite Italy's high infection rate at the time.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers found that methotrexate and leflunomide have similar efficacy for rheumatoid arthritis as first-line treatments, but methotrexate offered a greater reduction in swollen joints, while leflunomide was more associated with liver enzyme increases and fewer gastrointestinal side effects.

This article discusses the clinical presentation, histopathologic findings, and pathogenesis hypotheses of vitiligo without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that the pH-sensitive hydrogel HECHA13, containing isoliquiritigenin, effectively inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and showed promise for transdermal delivery in acne treatment.

In this case report, a patient experienced a recurrence of alopecia areata while undergoing etanercept treatment, suggesting the drug may not effectively prevent this condition's return.

This review assesses the benefits and limitations of various supramolecular hydrogels, including polymeric and peptide-based types, for wound healing, but reports no new clinical results.

Generalized vitiligo in Chinese patients is linked to other autoimmune diseases, especially in familial cases.

This review concludes that autologous split-thickness skin grafting remains the gold standard for safety and efficacy in treating chronic leg ulcers, with greater success in venous ulcers.

Azathioprine's effectiveness and safety require careful monitoring and more research, especially regarding its use with corticosteroids and the role of TPMT status in patients.

This study observed that patients with pemphigus have a higher incidence of hypothyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes compared to the general population.

This study found that the DFS pattern occurs in about 28% of ANA-positive cases and is relatively frequent in autoimmune diseases, contrary to previous observations suggesting no link with these diseases.

This study reported that sunscreen with SPF50+ provides a high level of DNA protection against UV-induced damage in a reconstituted human epidermis model, comparable to that in skin explants.

This review discusses the autoimmune pathogenesis of non-segmental vitiligo and highlights the genetic susceptibility linking it to other autoimmune disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

This study describes three cases of acneiform eruptions from EGFR inhibitors that improved with topical recombinant human EGF, suggesting its potential as a treatment option for this side effect.

This review discusses the potential impact of volatile organic compound exposure on the onset and progression of autoimmune diseases and reports no new experimental findings.

This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

In this study, Koreans with rosacea showed higher odds of experiencing various systemic comorbidities, including autoimmune diseases and certain cancers, compared to controls.

This report describes a patient experiencing hair repigmentation linked to adalimumab therapy, a TNF inhibitor, a phenomenon not previously associated with this class of drugs.

This review examines the outcomes of treating Brazilian patients with alopecia universalis using tofacitinib and highlights the need for randomized controlled trials to determine optimal dosing and duration.

This study found that in adults with vitiligo, certain autoimmune diseases are associated with factors like age, sex, and extent of vitiligo, suggesting tailored screening strategies based on these variables.

This review discusses the complex nature of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and management, and reports no new clinical findings.

This report suggests that tofacitinib may be beneficial for patients with nail disease unresponsive to other treatments.

This study found that mixtures used in permanent hair dyes had irritant effects on reconstructed human epidermis, while individual ingredients alone did not.

The researchers concluded that their new reconstructed human epidermis model from plucked hair follicle-derived keratinocytes offers a safer and simpler alternative to traditional skin-derived models for studying epidermal function.

This study found evidence that atopic dermatitis may increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and alopecia areata, but not other autoimmune diseases.

This systematic review describes current findings on the use of recombinant epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) for skin aging and wound healing, emphasizing its potential benefits but highlighting the need for more controlled studies to optimize dosing and treatment protocols.

This review characterizes breast implant illness and its autoimmune symptoms, reporting an association between breast implants and autoimmune diseases, with explantation relieving symptoms in over half of patients.

This article reviews how skin manifestations can aid in diagnosing various systemic diseases, focusing primarily on their association with rheumatologic conditions while also addressing vascular, granulomatous, and other disease impacts, aiming to provide dermatologists with practical diagnostic insights.
