Effectiveness and safety of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-mediated photodynamic therapy versus pulsed dye laser for port-wine stain: a retrospective study
Jun 11, 2026
The authors aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-mediated photodynamic therapy (HMME-PDT) versus pulsed dye laser (PDL) for treating port-wine stains on the face and neck. Their retrospective study found that HMME-PDT resulted in a higher rate of excellent improvement (41.5% vs. 29.2%) compared to PDL, although it was associated with increased risks of hyperpigmentation and scarring.
IL-1-Targeted Therapy in Dermatologic Conditions
Jun 9, 2026
The authors investigate the efficacy of IL-1-targeted therapies in various dermatologic conditions, particularly those characterized by neutrophil-rich inflammation. They find strong evidence supporting the use of IL-1 blockade in specific syndromes like cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes and Schnitzler syndrome, while noting variable responses in other conditions. The paper emphasizes the need for careful clinical and genetic assessment to optimize treatment outcomes with IL-1 antagonists.
