April 2024 in “Advanced Materials” This study tested a hydrogel microneedle patch delivering T reg attractants in mice with alopecia, finding it boosted regulatory T cell numbers at the site, leading to hair regrowth without causing peripheral immunosuppression, suggesting a potential new approach for autoimmune skin disease treatment.
March 2026 in “International Journal of Pharmacology” This study explored a method using deep solvents in the presence of ultrasound to efficiently extract lignans from flax seeds, aiming to maximize their health benefits like hormonal balance and reduced cancer risk, while minimizing toxicity.
June 2025 in “Dermatopathology” This study reports that SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, and off-label dupilumab treatment may exacerbate psoriasis, with overlapping inflammatory pathways involving cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α. Histopathological similarities between psoriasis flares and COVID-19 skin manifestations were noted, suggesting a potential connection requiring further research.
