This report describes two cases of alopecia in neutered female ferrets linked to neoplastic tissue at the site of an ovarian pedicle, suggesting an ovarian origin for the tumors.

This study found that concentrated clusters of noradrenergic nerve fibers form a longitudinal linear system in rat skin, particularly innervating arrector pili muscles.

This study described two cases of trichoblastomas in the tactile hair skin of aged house musk shrews, highlighting that their histological structure differs from that in humans and other animals.

In this study, melatonin exposure promoted hair follicle fiber growth in Cashmere goats, suggesting that it may mediate hair follicle development through long non-coding RNAs affecting vascular and extracellular pathways.

This study produced and characterized four new monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognize differentiation antigens in human hair follicle and epidermal structures.

This study identified stem cells in the primary and secondary hair follicles and epidermis of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, with BrdU labeling proving effective for up to 10 weeks.

This study found that PSAT1 is a key regulator of cellular survival and regenerative capacity in cashmere goat hair follicle stem cells, highlighting its role in the SHF cycle and its potential as a target to boost cashmere fiber production.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of CRABP2 enhanced the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in Hu sheep through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, even when the pathway was inhibited.

This study found that the WIF1 gene may play a crucial role in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits by regulating specific genes and proteins.

This study found that both subclinical and overt maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy and lactation caused significant damage to the skin development of rat offspring, including pronounced hyperkeratosis and reduced hair follicle formation, with more severe effects observed in overt hypothyroidism.

This study characterized proteins in hair-follicle and hair tissue, identifying similar protein types but with notable quantitative differences, which may reveal aspects of keratin protein synthesis.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This study concluded that thyroid atrophy, alopecia, and hyperkeratosis in sheep are associated with deficiencies in selenium and zinc in serum and liver.

This study found that carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of cattle hair reflects dietary and farm system differences, offering insights into cattle nutritional ecology and agroecosystem characteristics.

This study found that miRNA-24 downregulates the KLF6 gene, influencing coat color by affecting melanogenesis pathways in Cashmere goats, and that miRNA-24 inhibition increased melanin content in mice.

This study found that adrenal hormones appear to inhibit winter fur growth onset in mink and may affect the duration of inactivity between fur growth periods.

This case report describes a 9‐year‐old red panda with progressive hair loss linked to bilateral granulosa cell tumors, suggesting an underlying endocrine abnormality.

This study found that the formation of the fibre cuticle surface in Merino sheep is similar to the epidermal stratum corneum process and not from a modified plasma membrane as previously thought.

This study found that corin, a protease, plays a crucial role in eccrine sweat glands by promoting sweat and salt excretion, which helps regulate electrolyte balance.

This study reveals that β-catenin and retinoic acid are key regulators in the gene networks controlling the fate of skin appendages, such as scales and feathers.

This source provides supplementary materials for the Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework, a theoretical model proposing that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through several biological mechanisms. The materials include definitions, nutrient tables, and mechanistic notes but do not report empirical results.

This article reviews congenital and developmental skin conditions in foals and reports no new clinical results; it notes that these conditions can be influenced by genetic and environmental factors.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

In this study, TGFβR I was more highly expressed in alpaca ear skin than in back skin, suggesting it may inhibit coat hair growth, with let-7b downregulating TGFβR I protein through transcriptional repression.

In this study, the researchers identified LHX2 as a specific marker for hair follicle placodes, differentiating them from eccrine sweat gland placodes through double immunofluorescence staining.

This study demonstrated a simple and efficient method to isolate epithelial cells from rat vibrissa follicles, reducing labor and contamination risk while maintaining positive K19 staining.

This study found that pimozide, d-butaclamol, and pituitary pars intermedia grafts darken hair color in agouti C3H Avy mice, suggesting dopaminergic inhibition influences peptide-controlled hair color cycling.

This study observed that in wild snowshoe hares, gene expression patterns during seasonal coat color change show a consistent lag between gene expression and visible coat color changes.
