Ticks are ectoparasites that cause dermatologic reactions directly by their bites and indirectly as vectors of bacterial, protozoal and viral diseases. Consequences vary from minor local reactions to significant systemic sequelae and are therefore of clinical relevance to dermatologists. In this article, Australian ticks of medical importance are reviewed through the lens of dermatology.

- Human primordial germ cells (hPGCs) are the building blocks for eggs and sperm, but studying their development is challenging due to limited access to early human embryos.
- Researchers have developed a new in vitro model using micropatterned human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) treated with BMP4, which successfully produces stable hPGC-like cells (hPGCLC).
- The study reveals the importance of Nodal signaling alongside BMP in regulating hPGCLC differentiation, leading to a mathematical model that predicts fate outcomes and highlights that the size of hPSC colonies influences the efficiency of hPGCLC specification.
A 56-year-old woman with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia presented with a 10-year history of persisting wart-like skin lesions on her feet. Biopsy revealed changes of eccrine syringofibroadenoma. These lesions are rare, with only nine case reports describing an association with ectodermal dysplasia of hidrotic type (Clouston and Schopf's syndrome).

Intralesional triamcinolone and bleomycin have been used with varying success in the treatment of keloids. To compare the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone versus intralesional bleomycin in the treatment keloids.
