This case study reports a 70-year-old man with treatment-resistant pityriasis rubra pilaris achieving complete clinical remission with ustekinumab, adding to evidence supporting biologic therapy when TNF inhibitors are unsuitable.

This study describes tumor necrosis factor inhibitor-associated psoriatic alopecia, highlighting the distinctive histologic feature of sebaceous lobule atrophy, which is potentially reversible and helps differentiate it from idiopathic psoriatic alopecia.

This review concluded that oral tofacitinib and adalimumab are promising treatments for cicatricial alopecia, showing effectiveness in improving signs and symptoms but requiring regular monitoring for adverse effects. The authors emphasize the need for further extensive studies to solidify these findings.

This study surveyed patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and found that glucocorticoid treatment commonly leads to adverse effects, particularly sleep disturbance, mood swings, and weight gain, with more severe effects reported by female patients.

This case report identifies alopecia universalis as a probable adverse drug reaction to adalimumab in a patient with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

This review discusses the JAK-STAT pathway and the use of FDA-approved JAK inhibitors for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases but reports no new research findings.

This case report presents the first successful treatment of perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens using a regimen of adalimumab and baricitinib, resulting in almost complete healing after nine months.

The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This review discusses different types of alopecia associated with psoriasis and highlights that hair loss in psoriasis is typically non-scarring and reversible, while also noting the increased risk of alopecia areata in these patients.

The ILDS Newsletter reported on efforts to support albinism patients in Tanzania and dermatological conferences.

Personalized care and evidence-based treatments are crucial for managing skin and hair conditions.

This study found that NFI-C plays a crucial role in the transition from the telogen to anagen phase of the hair follicle cycle, affecting hair growth initiation in mice.

This study describes a distinctive hair loss pattern with features of psoriasis and alopecia areata linked to TNF-α inhibitors, noting various management options despite the lack of consensus guidelines.

This study found that upregulation of NFIC may enhance proliferation and osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation in rat dental follicle cells.

This research found that nod factor can induce root hair reorientation and gene expression in Medicago truncatula with as little as a single molecule, implicating heterotrimeric G-protein signaling in this process.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

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 study found that low temperatures and nitrogen deficiency trigger root hair elongation through a molecular mechanism involving the receptor kinase FERONIA and the TOR Complex 1.

This study suggests that NFIB and STAT5 work together to control cell-specific genetic programs in mammalian tissues, particularly in mammary and hair follicle stem cells.

This study found that low temperature triggers root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana through a FERONIA-ROP2-TORC signaling pathway, also activated by nitrogen deficiency.

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

This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.

This study found that TRF1 plays a crucial role in maintaining pluripotency and stem cell compartments, but it is not a suitable in vivo telomere length marker.

In this study, researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutation in the FERONIA gene of plants that prevents root hair formation at elevated temperatures, highlighting its role in maintaining root hair growth and response to plant hormones.

This study found that when NFIB was removed in adult mouse hair follicle stem cells, it did not affect their maintenance but unexpectedly led to increased proliferation and differentiation of nearby melanocyte stem cells.

TNF-a may not be as involved in certain types of hair loss as previously thought.

Certain factors like being female, having high cholesterol, using Medicaid, and previous non-biologic treatments increase the risk of multiple biologic failures in psoriasis patients.

In this study, the researchers identified a temperature-sensitive mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing disrupted root hair formation and altered responses to plant hormone treatments at elevated temperatures.
