In this case report, a 62-year-old woman's persistent frontal fibrosing alopecia while on the psoriasis medication ustekinumab suggests that IL-12 and IL-23 inhibition may not be effective in treating this scarring alopecia, challenging the role of Th1 and Th17 pathways in its pathogenesis.

This study suggests that STAT3 signaling in keratinocytes is crucial for maintaining skin homeostasis by regulating hair follicle-specific keratin genes, potentially impacting dermatitis development through microbe-triggered inflammatory responses.

This review discusses the complexities of hidradenitis suppurativa pathogenesis, highlighting issues with Notch signaling, immune dysregulation, and the role of keratinocytes and ECM, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis and as a treatment target.

This study found that the Yangyin Qingre Huoxue Prescription effectively reduced the progression of atherosclerosis in mice, with lipid-regulating and anti-inflammatory functions and lower hepatotoxicity than simvastatin.

This review of seborrheic dermatitis highlights the role of complex immunoinflammatory processes in its pathogenesis and discusses emerging treatments, such as PDE4 inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, and microbiome-targeted therapies, which may benefit patients with severe or treatment-resistant forms, according to the authors.

This review discusses the complex role of immune disturbances and the JAK-STAT pathway in alopecia areata, noting the success of JAK inhibitors in treatment, while highlighting ongoing debates and challenges in targeting other pathways like IL-17 and TNF-α.

This research discusses the complex immune pathogenesis of alopecia areata and highlights the success of Jak inhibitors and IL-4Rα antagonists, while IL-17A and PDE4 inhibitors showed limited efficacy; controlled trials are advocated to better understand cytokine involvement.

This mouse study found that offspring of parents with uveitis showed increased susceptibility to experimental autoimmune uveitis, potentially due to altered immune and cellular processes.

This review analyzes the interplay between atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, suggesting that epidermal barrier dysfunction and genetic predispositions exacerbate both conditions through immune responses.

This study suggests that frontal fibrosing alopecia is a highly inflammatory disease involving TH1 and JAK-STAT pathways, without reduced hair keratins, highlighting JAK-STAT signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This study found that in a mouse model of psoriasis, depleting CD169⁺ macrophages led to milder symptoms and decreased inflammation, suggesting these macrophages play a crucial role in psoriasis development.

This study found that alopecia areata is associated with distinct systemic and tissue immune signatures, with macrophages implicated as contributors to hair loss, suggesting potential therapeutic targeting of macrophage activity.

This review highlights that T cells are crucial in regulating hair follicle regeneration and their disruption can lead to alopecia, providing insights into hair disorders related to T cell immune balance and hair follicle regeneration.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is a chronic skin condition best treated early with surgery for better outcomes and less recurrence.

In this study, researchers found that cytokine dysregulation linked to genetic background is present in both patients and healthy but genetically related individuals in two autoimmune skin diseases, Pemphigus vulgaris and Alopecia areata, suggesting that protective immune mechanisms may prevent disease manifestation in predisposed individuals.

This report describes two cases where topical squaric acid dibutylester application in alopecia totalis patients led to severe pustular lesions, necessitating systemic prednisolone treatment.

This letter discusses a case of Hepatitis C-related vitiligo in a patient with Ivemark syndrome and presents no new clinical results.

This review highlights that alopecia areata is characterized by three immune endotypes, and while JAK inhibitors offer temporary control, upcoming multi-omics diagnostics and immune reprogramming strategies may achieve longer-lasting remission, according to this analysis.

This study constructed a consensus single-cell atlas for hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels, identifying distinct fibro-inflammatory microenvironments with potential drug targets, suggesting TNF blockade alone may not be effective for all lesion types.

This study's new single-cell atlas of hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels identifies distinct fibro-inflammatory microenvironments, suggesting that TNF blockade may not address the primary pathway in many lesions.

This study created a comprehensive single-cell atlas of hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels, identifying distinct microenvironmental endotypes linked to specific signaling pathways, suggesting that TNF blockade may not effectively address predominant pathways in many lesions and highlighting the potential for individualized treatment strategies.

This study constructed a consensus single-cell atlas of hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels, identifying distinct microenvironmental endotypes with different inflammatory and fibrotic profiles, suggesting that TNF blockade may not be sufficient for addressing all lesions.

This review examines the interconnected processes of atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, highlighting shared immune imbalances, genetic factors, and microbiome influences, while analyzing current and emerging treatments and identifying gaps in understanding these overlapping conditions.

Using high-throughput proteomics, this study identified 34 differentially expressed proteins in the lesional skin of adults with scalp psoriasis, suggesting a cytokine storm response linked to bacterial antigens.

This study found that acne lesions and nonlesional skin in mild-to-moderate acne patients showed significant Th17-skewing and increased antimicrobials, suggesting systemic targets like IL-17/IL-23/IL-36 could be therapeutic.

In this study, clinical case reports of three patients with advanced plaque scalp psoriasis treated with combination therapy including betamethasone dipropionate cream showed symptom relief within 2–3 weeks, highlighting the effectiveness of this treatment approach for managing scalp psoriasis.

This study systematically reviewed literature on paradoxical reactions during biologic treatments for psoriasis, identifying immune dysregulation mechanisms and diverse clinical manifestations, highlighting that mild cases often respond well to topical treatments, while severe cases may require switching to different IL-23 inhibitors.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that elevated IL-17a in aged olfactory epithelium impairs olfactory function, while IL-17a inhibition promotes regeneration and mitigates age-related decline.

In this study involving a murine skin infection model, researchers found that the Trichophyton mentagrophytes strain TIMM 2789, specific to rodents, induced typical symptoms of superficial dermatophytosis, while revealing that the fungal gene SUB6 is not essential for virulence.
