This study demonstrated that AtVLN4 plays a role in root hair growth by regulating actin organization in a calcium-dependent manner.

This review discusses genetic factors associated with androgenetic alopecia, particularly the roles of the AR/EDA2R locus and histone deacetylases, but it does not present new clinical results.

This research presents the Dodatek A model, elaborating on androgen function through new mathematical indices and methodological improvements, shifting focus from serum hormone concentrations to system interactions to better describe androgen activity comprehensively.

This study found that intradermal injection of a cell-penetrating, AR-targeting asiRNA promoted hair growth and reduced androgen receptor expression in mouse models of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its therapeutic potential.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.

This paper outlines the clinical features of artefactual skin disorder, emphasizing the complexities in diagnosing the self-inflicted lesions that patients deny, and underscores the importance of integrating dermatological, psychiatric, and psychological treatment approaches.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

Oral tacrolimus helped a rheumatoid arthritis patient regrow hair lost due to alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers observed that Purebred Arabian horses had significantly thicker hair in most assessed body areas compared to Polish Sports horses, indicating that breed should be considered in evaluations of equine skin and hair characteristics.

This analysis highlights the substantial financial burden AA creates in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and standardized treatment protocols to improve resource allocation and patient outcomes.

This review discusses the roles of the Agouti and Agouti-related proteins in pigmentation and energy regulation and reports no new experimental findings.

This study used Scanning Electron Microscopy to analyze South American mummy hair, revealing high levels of sulfur, calcium, and potassium, highlighting SEM's utility in anthropological investigations.

This study found that increased mRNA expression of the Ectodysplasin-A2-Receptor, observed across multiple species and tissues, may exacerbate inflammation during aging, suggesting potential benefits of blocking EDA2R/EDA-A2 signaling.

This study found that androgen receptor inactivation in male and female mice reduced susceptibility to DMBA-induced skin cancer, but the effect varied by the carcinogenesis model.

This study demonstrated that an AR-EGFP transgene can restore AR function and fertility in Sertoli cell-specific AR knockout mice, highlighting its potential use in understanding androgen receptor functions.

This study conducted in Batam City found a 10.79% prevalence of alopecia among 417 captured bats across seven species, with higher rates in fragmented urban forests associated with anthropogenic pressures, highlighting the influence of habitat conditions on bat health.

This study found that camera trap images revealed mange-like skin lesions in snow leopards and other species in Kyrgyz reserves, with detection rates varying widely and raising concerns about disease spread.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermatophytosis in a young cat caused by Microsporum gypseum, confirmed by molecular analyses to be Arthroderma gypseum.

This study found that the count of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the androgen receptor gene may be associated with acne in female patients without hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a rare instance of sarcoidal granulomatous alopecia areata in a 42-year-old man, with histopathological findings suggesting inflammation but ruling out causes like tuberculosis and syphilis, resulting in treatment with tofacitinib.

Candida auris uses the immune response to colonize hair follicles.

This study found that acanthosis nigricans in the knuckles correlates with higher insulin and HOMA-IR values, potentially serving as an early, accessible marker for insulin resistance even without excess weight.

This review discusses the association between androgen receptor CAG repeat polymorphism and several health conditions, including Kennedy’s disease and urologic disorders, without reporting new clinical results.

Certain genes influence the direction of hair whorls on the scalp.

This case report documents a dog with dermatophytosis, caused by the fungus Microsporum canis, presenting symptoms like alopecia in the neck and ear, highlighting the condition's prevalence in tropical and temperate climates and its zoonotic nature.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

This study identified a new genetic locus, ahl4, on distal Chromosome 10 that contributes to the early-onset, severe hearing loss in A/J mice compared to B6 mice.

This study conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reported that severe alopecia areata presents significant treatment challenges due to limited therapies, leading to substantial impacts on patients' quality of life, mental health, and economic burdens.

This study found that intradermal injection of a specially designed RNA molecule, cp-asiAR, successfully reduced androgen receptor levels and promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, while also improving hair follicle characteristics in ex vivo human scalp tissues without significant toxicity.
