Topical Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes for Acceleration of Wound Healing Following Tissue Trauma and Aesthetic Procedures: A Case Series
J Drugs Dermatol. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):281-284. doi: 10.36849/JDD.C7395.ABSTRACTIn the aesthetics practice, measures to accelerate wound healing and minimize downtime following procedures have been largely restricted to topical serums and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which can have varying levels of success. Here, the authors present a case series of patients treated in clinical practice with cell-free exosomes derived from human placental mesenchymal stem cells (Exovex, Exocelbio, Doylestown, PA). Topical administration of exosomes after either aesthetic treatment or traumatic injury (a dog bite) had a marked effect on healing...

Efficacy and Tolerability of Topical 0.1% Stabilized Bioactive Retinol for Photoaging: A Vehicle-Controlled Integrated Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This pooled analysis of 6 vehicle-controlled clinical studies provides new evidence for the efficacy of 0.1% stabilized bioactive retinol in improving signs of photoaging without causing major irritation. Topical 0.1% stabilized bioactive retinol was well tolerated with only a few reported cases of skin irritation.

Molecular Insights Into the Effects of PLLA-SCA on Gene Expression and Collagen Synthesis in Human 3D Skin Models Containing Macrophages
J Drugs Dermatol. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):285-288. doi: 10.36849/JDD.7791.ABSTRACTInjectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA-SCA) is used for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold contour deficiencies, cheek wrinkles, and other facial wrinkles. In contrast to hyaluronan (HA) fillers, PLLA-SCA has a biostimulatory effect by activating resident fibroblasts to produce collagen, but the mechanisms are not known in detail at the molecular level. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the molecular effects of PLLA-SCA in a comprehensive in vitro study. Since PLLA-SCA-dependent collagen production in fibroblasts depends on the inter...

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Inhibitor-Induced Inflammatory Alopecia in Woman With Ovarian Cancer
J Drugs Dermatol. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):e102-e103. doi: 10.36849/JDD.7802.ABSTRACTInflammatory alopecia is an increasingly reported side effect of targeted cancer therapies. Here we report one case of inflammatory alopecia secondary to mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor agent Trametinib in a woman with ovarian cancer. Biopsies of the scalp were consistent with early scarring alopecia compatible with drug-induced alopecia. Significant improvement in hair loss occurred after treatment with intralesional Kenalog (ILK) injections and oral isotretinoin. Though acute alopecia has been described in patients using ...

Oral Lichen Planus Successfully Treated With Upadacitinib
J Drugs Dermatol. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):e104-e106. doi: 10.36849/JDD.7859.ABSTRACTWith the rise of Janus kinase (JAK) and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) inhibitor use in dermatologic conditions, there has been increasing hope in treating extensive and difficult-to-treat inflammatory cutaneous conditions. Today we report a case of oral lichen planus successfully treated with an oral JAK1 inhibitor, upadacitinib. This case had been unresponsive by several standard methods but responded with 70% improvement within 1 month when treated with upadacitinib. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(4):7859. ...

Analysis of Reddit Reveals JAK Inhibitor Questions Among Atopic Dermatitis Patients
J Drugs Dermatol. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):e121-e123. doi: 10.36849/JDD.7787.ABSTRACTReddit is a popular social media website that is increasingly being used as a source of health information and discussion, especially among the younger population. We analyzed the subreddit "eczeJAKs" (a group whose "about" statement is: "Janus Kinase Inhibitors for Th2 Dermatitis"), and found many gaps in patient knowledge, showing areas for future improvement.
