Revisiting roles of mast cells and neural cells in keloid: exploring their connection to disease activity
ConclusionsscRNA-seq analyses of AK, IK, and MS samples unveiled substantial microenvironmental heterogeneity. Such heterogeneity might be linked to disease activity. These findings suggest the potential contribution of MCs and NCs to keloid pathogenesis. Histopathological and molecular features observed in AK and IK samples provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying pain and pruritus in keloid lesions. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

The detailed histopathological characteristics of ovarian fibroma compared with thecoma, granulosa cell tumor, and sclerosing stromal tumor
CONCLUSION: Ovarian fibromas can present some maybe unexpected features rather frequently, such as cystic degeneration, hyaline plaques, prominent vascularity, increased cellularity, and some mitotic activity, thus their presence should not always prompt to an alternative diagnosis.PMID:38447489 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2024.155236 (Source: Cell Research)

A Different Approach for Protruding Earlobe Correction —Modified Fish-tail Technique
ConclusionsOur method stands out for its ability to achieve both adjustable vertical height and effective lobule correction with a reduced need for skin excision. We recommend the modified fish-tail technique as an alternative technique for prominent lobule surgery.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Dermal connective tissue is comprised of a collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) that is produced by connective tissue fibroblasts resident within the dermis.
