The stem cells can be turned into brain cells in laboratories, which can give scientists a better understanding of the genes and characteristics of brain cells that bipolar disorder patients have.

Severe atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms of shorter duration were more likely to improve in allergen sensitized patients receiving desensitizing immunotherapy, than severe symptoms of longer duration or more moderate symptoms, according to a new observational cohort study.

Childhood atopic dermatitis (AD) usually resolves before adulthood, a meta-analysis of cases showed. Those patients who did see their AD persist were more likely to be female, to have been older at onset, and to have relatively severe AD.

Across the board, researchers saw that studies of active smokers showed increased prevalence of the skin condition, regardless of age or region. It isn't quite clear, though, whether smoking causes AD or AD causes people to smoke.

Topical corticosteroid worked as well as bleach in transforming the microbiota of affected skin to that of healthy skin, an NYU study found.

In the past 15 years, no new topical AD treatments have been approved. Crisaborole, however, could be an efficient, safe, non-steoidal treatment option, according to the results of two recent phase III studies.

For millions of Americans, including as many as one in four children, the painful skin irritation of atopic dermatitis (AD, or eczema), may only be the tip of the iceberg.

Researchers have reported that higher serum clusterin levels in children may be linked with atopic dermatitis symptom, potentially providing a candidate molecule to reflect disease’s severity.

Researchers have reported that higher serum clusterin levels in children may be linked with atopic dermatitis symptom severity.

The FDA has approved UltraShape Power (Syneron Medical Ltd) for non-invasive reduction of abdominal circumference through fat cell destruction.

From childhood to adulthood atopic dermatitis is a condition that can have an extremely negative impact on a person's life. Knowing the best way to manage the symptoms can go a long way in improving quality of life issues.

People with red hair, pale skin, and freckles have long been advised to take extra precautions when out in the sun. New research has supported these concerns by proving the MC1R gene variant associated with red hair was directly linked to a higher number of genetic mutations in skin cancers.

Staph is often present in patients with atopic dermatitis, study finds.

Although preclinical trials have shown that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are therapeutically effective against atopic dermatitis, actual clinical studies had not yet confirmed it – until now.

Dermatologists have long advised against giving daily baths to kids suffering from eczema, but new research has debunked that practice – a daily wash is acceptable, followed by plenty of moisturizer.

Sunny skies and summer months usually can’t arrive soon enough, and depending on travel destinations, skincare in the heat can be overwhelming.

With the month of May dedicated to skin cancer awareness, new research brings to light more cases of skin cancer being diagnosed than breast, colon, lung, and prostrate cancers combined.

Abnormal scarring is troublesome for patients, for both its cosmetic inelegance and pain.

New research in skin cancer discovered untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) could increase the aggressiveness of malignant cutaneous melanoma.

While cleansers and other at-home face masks can do wonders for acne and facial scarring, home remedies for skin cancer should be avoided at all costs.

Scientists at MIT, Massachusetts General Hospital, Living Proof, and Olivo Labs have successfully developed a new material that could temporarily protect and tighten skin and smooth wrinkles.

Avoiding needles may increase the appeal of temporary tattoos, but some physicians have warned against the use of black henna tattoos.

Rosacea patients are at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, according to new research.
