This study identified that a deficiency in the palmitoyl transferase enzyme, due to a mutation in the Zdhhc13 gene, led to severe physiological abnormalities in mice, including skin, bone, and systemic amyloid issues.

This study describes a case where stopping infliximab and using oral minocycline with topical treatments effectively resolved alopecia and scalp psoriasis in a woman with Crohn's disease.

In this study, a Monte Carlo-generated synthetic cohort analysis found that higher simulated cannabis exposure was linked to increased self-assessed hair loss severity and reduced follicular density, suggesting potential connections worth exploring in further clinical research.

In this simulation study, higher cannabis exposure was associated with increased hair shedding severity and reduced follicular density, with greater effects observed in female-assigned profiles, but these associations are based on modeled data and not clinical observations.

This review details the diverse catalytic activities of abzymes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and reports no new experimental findings; it discusses the impact of these abzymes on disease pathogenesis.

This study found that dermatologists in an urban academic setting most frequently use topical corticosteroids, intralesional corticosteroids, and topical minoxidil for treating central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, aligning with current literature recommendations on reducing inflammation.
