Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Vulvar lichen simplex chronicus (VLSC) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that remains difficult to manage long term. Fractional CO2 laser (FxCO2) combined with topical corticosteroids (TCs) has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy; however, high‐quality long‐term evidence remains limited.

Symbiosis constraints: Strong mycobiont control limits nutrient response in lichens
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Symbioses such as lichens are potentially threatened by drastic environmental changes. We used the lichen Peltigera aphthosa—a symbiosis between a fungus (mycobiont), a green alga (Coccomyxa sp.), and N2‐fixing cyanobacteria (Nostoc sp.)—as a model ...

Topical Imiquimod for Oral Cavity Leukoplakia and Dysplasia: A Scoping Review
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Imiquimod, a toll‐like receptor 7 agonist, is currently FDA‐approved for treatment of actinic keratoses, superficial BCC, and external genital warts. It has also demonstrated promise in off‐label use in the treatment of oral cavity leukoplakia and dysplasia.

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence
Oikos, EarlyView.Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...
