Egg shell membrane hydrolysates can reduce wrinkles and improve skin health.
research Treatment of Severe Alopecia Areata with the Oral Janus Kinase Inhibitor, Tofacitinib: A Retrospective Chart Review
Tofacitinib may help regrow hair in severe alopecia areata, but results differ greatly between people.
research Middle East Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diabetes: A Review
Some Middle Eastern plants may help treat diabetes and could be alternatives to current drugs, but more research is needed.
research Hairless-Knockout Piglets Generated Using CRISPR/Cas9 Exhibit Abnormalities in Skin and Thymus
Pigs without the Hairless gene showed skin and thymus changes, useful for studying human hair disorders.
research Calcineurin-Based Immunosuppression in Renal Transplantation: Focus on Efficacy, the Role of Steroids, and Cardiovascular Risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Clinical and Immunological Phenotype of Patients With Primary Immunodeficiency Due to Damaging Mutations in NFKB2
Damaging mutations in NFKB2 cause a severe and distinct form of primary immunodeficiency with early-onset and often ACTH-deficiency.
research The Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Review
Hormone imbalance is linked to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a skin condition, and treatments like anti-androgenic therapy and metformin can help. It's also suggested to check patients for insulin resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Environmental cues can change the fate and function of epithelial cells, with potential for cell therapy.
research Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Nature and Niche Nurture
Blood stem cells are diverse, influenced by many factors, and understanding them is key for progress in regenerative medicine.
research Characterization of CD4+ Stem Cells of the Skin and Their Role in Skin Homeostasis and Tumorigenesis
CD4+ skin cells may be precursors to basal cell carcinoma.
research Colon Cancer Stem Cells: Promise of Targeted Therapy
Targeting colon cancer stem cells might lead to better treatment results.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Mice Engrafted with Human Fetal Thymic Tissue and Hematopoietic Stem Cells Develop Pathology Resembling Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease
Mice with human fetal thymic tissue and stem cells developed symptoms similar to chronic graft-versus-host disease.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
