This study found that skin disorders are prevalent among elderly individuals and are often associated with underlying systemic diseases.

In this study, researchers found that melanoma risk factors and characteristics vary with age, noting distinct differences in younger, middle-aged, and older patients, with strong correlations in the oldest group.

This study found that the prevalence of vitiligo in Germany is higher in clinical exams than in claims data, suggesting many patients may not seek medical help due to unsatisfactory treatment options.

This editorial reviews how photobiomodulation therapy might effectively treat both hyperpigmentation and depigmentation skin disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines human-relevant in vitro models for studying pigmentation disorders, identifying both challenges and advancements in replicating human pigmentation processes and disease-specific pathology in vitro.

This compilation reviews multiple dermatologic studies, reporting findings such as the lack of a psoriasis-susceptibility allele in cluster 17, and highlighting a mouse model for studying hair follicle formation, among others.

As skin ages, it gets thinner, paler, and more wrinkled, and protection and care like sunblock and moisturizers are important.

This study found that ferulic acid effectively stabilized vitamins C and E in a topical solution, doubling skin photoprotection against solar-simulated irradiation, which may help in preventing photoaging and skin cancer.

This review discusses the pathogenesis of melasma, including genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, and highlights potential avenues for new treatments and preventive strategies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that scalp melanoma often occurs in areas with androgenetic alopecia, and patients without alopecia might experience a later diagnosis due to hair coverage, leading to potentially worse outcomes.

This literature review reports that mutations in the SASH1 gene are linked to different pigmentation disorders, including dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria and lentiginosis. It further suggests SASH1's significant role in melanocyte processes and its potential as a target for developing treatments for these conditions.
