April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers demonstrated that the Id2 gene acts as a direct target and effector of BMP signaling, playing a key role in maintaining quiescence in hair follicle stem cells in vivo.
July 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Alopecia totalis/universalis involves more intense immune activity and inflammation than patchy alopecia areata.
In this study, the combined treatment of ursolic acid and resveratrol was evaluated for its inhibitory effects on skin tumor promotion in female FVB mice. The combination was applied topically before TPA treatment and was found to significantly inhibit TPA-induced epidermal hyperproliferation, signaling pathways, and skin inflammation more effectively than either compound alone. Key signaling pathways affected included EGFR, STAT3, and NF-κB, among others. The combination also increased tumor suppressor levels and reduced proinflammatory cytokine expression. Overall, the combined treatment resulted in a greater reduction in tumor multiplicity and size, highlighting its potential as a more effective strategy for preventing skin tumor promotion compared to individual treatments.
