This review discusses changes in keratin structure or gene expression that result in various skin disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retrievers may be related to abnormal production of adrenal sex hormones, with further research needed to explore its heritability and treatment options.
