Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.

This review discusses the importance of heme oxygenase in skin physiology and disease, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight its potential as a treatment target for conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

This study found that combining TIMP-1 with graphene oxide promoted skin tissue regeneration in rats and provided sustained release of TIMP-1 over 40 days.

This article examines anticytokine therapies for autoimmune diseases, highlighting the potential of anti-interferon-γ as a universal treatment for certain conditions and noting varying effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors.

This review assessed experimental studies on herbs used for alopecia, identifying potential mechanisms involving hair cycle management and keratinocyte processes, but highlighted a need for improved evidence on quality control and toxicity of these herbal treatments.

This study found that the retinoid receptor and PPAR pathway are involved in hair follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia, alongside androgen receptors.

Among in vitro and in vivo models, this study found that Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens flower extract may promote hair growth, potentially by modulating growth factor expressions and facilitating earlier hair follicle transitions in treated mice.

This review explores the phytochemistry and phytopharmacology of Urtica dioica but reports no new experimental findings, focusing on its traditional uses and range of bioactive constituents.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This review discusses the distinctive non-infective skin presentations of HIV infection from a dermatological perspective and reports no new clinical findings.

This study determined that most elemental concentrations in Mexican medicinal plants were similar to agricultural products, with bromine being an exception.

This study found that trichoscopy is essential for evaluating the severity of alopecia areata and predicting treatment responses, contributing to more personalized patient management.

In this study, researchers prepared a humanized CXCL12 antibody for alopecia areata treatment, finding it significantly delayed disease onset in mice and reduced immune cell activation, suggesting potential as an immune modulatory therapy.

In this study, researchers observed that Malassezia species show different lipid metabolism and growth patterns depending on pH, with slightly acidic conditions promoting beneficial lipid bio-conversion for skin health, while neutral pH resulted in lower growth and lipid content, potentially negatively impacting the skin.

This source reports that a network meta-analysis found oral baricitinib and ruxolitinib to be effective and safe for treating alopecia areata, significantly improving response rates over placebos and showing fewer adverse effects than steroid treatments, though precise dosing needs further study.

This study suggests that Eclipta prostrata may promote hair growth in mice and human dermal papilla cells through regulating FGF-7 and mTOR signaling.

In this study, a herbal extract mixture significantly reduced IL-1α gene expression in HaCaT cells, suggesting it may aid in the treatment of nonscarring alopecia.

This article describes how HIV-related skin disorders vary in presentation among pigmented skin types and highlights challenges in their diagnosis due to atypical disease manifestations.

This article reviews the role of keratins in epithelial function and structure, discussing their involvement in growth control, organelle functions, and pathomechanisms of disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 4.5-year-old boy with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome linked to X-linked recessive ichthyosis, where remission was achieved using cyclosporine, suggesting STS deficiency as a potential genetic cause of the condition.

In this case report, a 9-year-old horse was diagnosed with alopecia areata contributing to Malassezia dermatitis, involving lymphocyte infiltration and symptoms consistent with yeast presence.

This preliminary study observed that melanoblasts are preserved in the white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical use and bioactivity of Eclipta prostrata, highlighting its potential in treating various conditions and linking its effects to secondary metabolites.

This review examines recent findings on COVID-19 pneumonia treatment using mesenchymal stem cells and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight MSCs' potential due to their immunomodulatory and tissue-regenerative properties.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels and higher odds of vitamin D deficiency, but no significant difference in serum calcium levels, compared to controls.

This study demonstrated that allopregnanolone administration caused significant scratching in atopic dermatitis mice, and ethanol-induced scratching may be linked to increased brain allopregnanolone levels.

This study suggests that setipiprant's inhibitory effect on aldose reductase may contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties, adding a possible mechanism beyond its known action on the prostaglandin D2 receptor.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.
