TL;DR: The results demonstrate that IL-17A participates in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and uveitis and that the antibody against this cytokine may be an effective therapeutic agent, and warrant larger clinical trials to assess further the safety and efficacy of AIN457.

TL;DR: Alternative agents to inhibit skin pigmentation such as retinoids, mequinol, azelaic acid, arbutin, kojic Acid, aleosin, licorice extract, ascorbic acid and N‐acetyl glucosamine are examined as possible topical alternatives to hydroquinone.

TL;DR: Public education campaigns should be expanded to target communities of color to promote self-skin examination and stress importance of photoprotection, avoidance of tanning bed use, and early skin cancer detection and treatment, which should result in reduction or earlier detection of cutaneous malignancies in all communities.

TL;DR: New to this fourth edition are chapters on dermatocosmetic vehicles, surface film, causes and measurement of skin aging, make-up products, skin healing, cosmetics in sports, cosmetotextiles, nutricosmetics, natural ingredients, cosmeceuticals, and regulatory vigilance.

TL;DR: In men with hair loss in the anterior/mid area of the scalp, finasteride 1 mg/day slowed hair loss and increased hair growth.
