Selective Janus Kinase Inhibitor Upadacitinib Shows Efficacy in Severe Alopecia Areata

Researchers from ten different countries shared the results of the successful completion of Phase III clinical trials for upadacitinib, a selective Janus kinase inhibitor. These trials were conducted among patients with severe alopecia areata.

According to the report, approximately half of the people participating in the study achieved significant improvement in scalp condition, reaching 80 percent hair coverage on the scalp.

Information regarding the progress and results of this study was officially published in the scientific journal JAMA Dermatology.

Japanese botanist discovers hermit crabs carry seeds of parasitic plant

Japanese botanist Kenji Suetsugu determined which organisms are responsible for the dispersal of seeds of Balanophora fungosa, a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll.

To obtain this data, the scientist conducted a series of observations and experiments on Ishigaki Island, located in the Ryukyu archipelago. The study established that the primary carriers of B. fungosa in this region are terrestrial hermit crabs of the species Coenobita brevimanus.

These crustaceans consume the fruits of the balanophore, after which they spread the seeds on their bodies and along with their excrement.

Furthermore, cockroaches of the species Periplaneta australasiae participate in the dispersal of B. fungosa. According to information published in the journal Ecology, this case marks the first documented instance where hermit crabs are responsible for the seed dispersal of plants.
