research Evidence that mirex promotes a unique population of epidermal cells that cannot be distinguished by their mutant Ha-ras genotype
This study found that mirex and TPA promote papilloma formation in CD-1 mouse skin through distinct populations of mutant Ha-ras cells, resulting in additive tumor yields.
research Patient-Reported Satisfaction with Hair Regrowth in a Study of Ritlecitinib in Alopecia Areata: Results from ALLEGRO-2b/3
This study found that patients receiving active ritlecitinib doses reported greater satisfaction with hair growth compared to placebo, with high agreement observed between clinician evaluations of scalp hair improvement and patient satisfaction through week 48.
research Comparison of hair manifestations in cardio‐facio‐cutaneous and Costello syndromes highlights the influence of the RAS pathway on hair growth
This study observed distinct differences in hair characteristics between individuals with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome and Costello syndrome, highlighting the role of the RAS pathway in these RASopathies and aiding clinical diagnosis.
research Association of breast cancer in men with exposure to 5-α reductase inhibitors: A RADAR report.
This study found a significant association between male breast cancers and exposure to finasteride and dutasteride, with an estimated additional case per 564 men taking these drugs.
research The RpoS Gatekeeper in Borrelia burgdorferi: An Invariant Regulatory Scheme That Promotes Spirochete Persistence in Reservoir Hosts and Niche Diversity
This study found that the RpoN/RpoS pathway regulates gene expression in Borrelia burgdorferi, influencing its ability to persist in mammals and adapt to different hosts.
research Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome: two case reports and a brief review of the literature
This report describes Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome cases in two siblings and briefly reviews the literature, highlighting insulin receptor gene mutations as the underlying cause.
research Epidermal mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 controls lipid synthesis and filaggrin processing in epidermal barrier formation
mTORC2 is crucial for healthy skin barrier by regulating lipids and filaggrin.
research ‘Ritlecitinib: unveiling hair regrowth for alopecia areata’
In this review, the authors highlight the FDA approval of Ritlecitinib, the first oral treatment specifically for moderate to severe alopecia areata in patients aged 12 and older, marking a significant advancement in managing this condition.
research Expression of retinoid-X receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) and retinoic acid receptors (-Æ,-a,-a) in normal human skin: an immunohistological evaluation
This study found that RXR and RAR proteins were detectable in normal human skin, suggesting they may play a role in epidermal cell differentiation and hair and gland physiology.
research Patient Profile and Treatment Characteristics of Adults and Adolescents Prescribed Ritlecitinib for Alopecia Areata in the USA
This study reported that ritlecitinib was prescribed to a diverse group of patients with severe alopecia areata in the first 10 months after FDA approval, indicating its potential role in AA management.
research 41949 Raman spectroscopy of alopecia drugs to assess their potential for laser-assisted drug delivery
This review discusses the use of Raman spectroscopy to evaluate drug penetration in alopecia treatments and suggests it may be a promising tool for enhancing the effectiveness of laser-assisted drug delivery.
