This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who developed scalp psoriasis and severe alopecia after taking adalimumab, with complete hair regrowth following treatment change.

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 outlines the various adverse reactions to biologic therapies in Allergy/Immunology, emphasizing the clinical and management challenges due to overlapping reaction phenotypes and the need for more refined diagnostic and management strategies.

This study found that biologic therapies, particularly anti-TNF-alpha agents, have been linked to increased cases of alopecia areata in patients treated for autoimmune disorders.

This study compared the long-term efficacy and safety of biologics targeting TNF alpha and IL-12/23 in moderate to severe psoriasis, finding that IL-12/23 inhibitors were more effective at achieving a PASI 75 response, while both treatments showed a similar risk of serious infection and malignancy.

This study reports that SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, and off-label dupilumab treatment may exacerbate psoriasis, with overlapping inflammatory pathways involving cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α. Histopathological similarities between psoriasis flares and COVID-19 skin manifestations were noted, suggesting a potential connection requiring further research.

This study found that FGF-9 treatment in diabetic mice improved heart function after myocardial infarction by decreasing monocyte infiltration and promoting anti-inflammatory macrophage differentiation.

In this narrative review, the researchers reported that the overall safety profile of drugs used for treating spondyloarthritis is generally good, with serious adverse events being rare, but emphasized the need for rheumatologists to tailor treatments and closely monitor patients for potential adverse events.

This review discusses recent findings on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, an immortalized MSC line from human adipose tissue showed potential for applications in regenerative medicine and inflammatory diseases through production of active factors, demonstrated in vitro.

In this study, dry powder inhalers containing Cepharanthine were administered to rats with acute lung injury, significantly reducing pulmonary edema, hemorrhage, and inflammatory markers, suggesting its potential as an effective anti-inflammatory treatment when inhaled directly into the lungs.

This review found that mesenchymal stem cells and their derived exosomes are a potentially safe and well-tolerated treatment for lung healing in patients with COVID-19.

This study reviewed clinical trials and reports on cytokine-targeting biologics for alopecia areata, finding Dupilumab and Ustekinumab showed strong efficacy, while other biologics had limited success or worsened the condition. Further research is needed to optimize biologic therapies for AA.

This study explores potential treatments for post COVID-19 complications using natural substances through molecular docking, but reports no new clinical results and existing treatments remain limited to prophylaxis and therapeutics.

PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

This study found that TNC + fibroblasts are crucial in neuro-immune interactions in various skin diseases, particularly inflammation and tumors, by engaging extensively with immune cells and overexpressing inflammatory genes, suggesting their significant role in skin abnormalities.

This review discusses the various roles of RANK signaling in bone remodeling, immune function, and epithelial differentiation, highlighting its potential involvement in cancer mechanisms; it reports no new clinical results.
