Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by rapid skin cell growth and immune system issues, and WWOX is identified as a potential factor in its progression.
- Research found increased levels of WWOX in skin cells from psoriatic lesions in both humans and mice.
- Reducing WWOX expression in lab settings decreased inflammation, suggesting that targeting WWOX could offer new treatment options for psoriasis.
Article Synopsis
- Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune condition characterized by hair loss, with unclear mechanisms underlying its development.
- Recent research indicates a relationship between inflammation (via the NLRP3 inflammasome) and mitochondrial health, specifically the removal of damaged mitochondria through a process called mitophagy.
- Findings suggest that damaging factors like IFNγ and poly(I:C) heighten oxidative stress and inflammasome activity in hair follicle cells, highlighting the potential for therapies that target mitophagy to manage AA effectively.
It is difficult to distinguish melanose and melanoses-like symptoms with the naked eye because they appear similar. To accurately detect melanose symptoms caused by Diaporthe citri from melanose-like symptoms, we developed PCR-based specific primers Dcitri by aligning the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of D. citri with the ITS of Diaporthe cytosporella, Diaporthe foeniculina, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria citri, and Fusarium oxysporum found on citrus peel.
