July 2024 in “Russian Journal of Child Neurology” This study observed that among children with neurofibromatosis type 1 in Russia, selumetinib treatment led to a partial reduction in plexiform neurofibroma volume in 65% of cases, with 56% showing a long-term response without surgery; common side effects included skin rash and hair issues.
62 citations
,
January 2010 in “Hormone research in paediatrics” This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.
30 citations
,
December 2021 in “Frontiers in Microbiology” In this study, researchers found that cepharanthine significantly inhibited HSV-1 replication in vitro by interfering with specific signaling pathways, arresting the cell cycle, and inducing apoptosis in infected cells, highlighting its potential as an antiviral agent.
3 citations
,
January 2017 in “Yonsei Medical Journal” This study found that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 can partially reverse the negative impact of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells in human scalps, suggesting potential for treating stress-related hair loss.
1 citations
,
September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The researchers reported that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 activity in human dermal papilla cells may reduce the negative effects of glucocorticoids on hair growth, suggesting potential treatment for stress-related hair loss.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that in alopecia areata, innate lymphoid cells type 1 may contribute to the disease’s pathogenesis by inducing hair follicle changes similarly to CD8+ T cells.
This study explores the expression and function of 11β-HSD1 in human hair follicles and its potential regulation of glucocorticoid effects on dermal papilla cells, but reports no definitive findings on 11β-HSD1's role.
3 citations
,
March 2019 in “Case Reports” This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.
2 citations
,
January 2021 in “Case reports in endocrinology” In this case report, a girl with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 experienced stabilized disease and reversal of alopecia universalis after treatment with glucocorticoids and methotrexate.
23 citations
,
January 2015 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 had higher numbers of nevi, dysplastic nevi, melanomas, and pilomatrixomas compared to age- and sex-matched controls.
18 citations
,
December 2010 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.
October 2007 in “European Neuropsychopharmacology”
In this study, researchers observed that dysregulated innate lymphoid cells type 1, alongside CD8+ T cells, may contribute to the pathogenesis of alopecia areata by affecting hair follicle health.
In this case report, the researchers highlight a possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and multiple tongue hemangiomas, and emphasize that patients with this condition can experience exacerbated respiratory muscle weakness and risk of respiratory failure even with epidural anesthesia.
26 citations
,
September 2009 in “Clinical genetics” This study identified four novel and one recurrent mutation in the AIRE gene among Arab families with APS1, suggesting these contribute to the disorder.
November 2021 in “World Family Medicine Journal /Middle East Journal of Family Medicine” This study observed that diabetic ketoacidosis is common among type-1 diabetics, particularly with initial disease presentation or treatment discontinuation, and is more frequent in females and those with less educated or related parents.
50 citations
,
October 1986 in “European journal of pediatrics” This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.
2 citations
,
February 1990 in “PubMed” In this study, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibited growth and promoted differentiation in normal hair follicle cells but did not affect cells from a patient with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, assisting in potential rapid diagnosis of the condition.
