October 2024 in “International Journal of Comprehensive Veterinary Research.” In this study, researchers examined the skin of neonatal rabbits and found that most hair follicles were in the terminal stage, with hair shafts protruding through the epidermis, but noted the absence of sweat glands.
February 2023 in “Mağallaẗ Tikrīt li-l-ʻulūm al-ṣirfaẗ/Tikrit journal of pure science” In this study, the researchers reported the detailed anatomical structure of horse skin, including the composition and organization of the epidermis, dermis, and associated glands and follicles.
February 2019 in “American International Journal of Humanities Arts and Social Sciences” This histological study of Millivora Capenesis skin describes the composition of the dermis, featuring distinct papillary and reticular layers with associated structures like hair follicles, glands, and corpuscles.
This article highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of certain cutaneous adverse drug reactions and autoimmune disorders in dermatological emergencies, but it reports no new clinical results.
January 2003 in “Jiepouxue zazhi” This study found that human hair keratin can serve as a matrix for skin structure restoration, as observed in rats where the graft was replaced by newly formed collagenous fibers over six weeks.

January 2015 in “Indian Journal of Veterinary Pathology” This report describes cases of trichoblastoma and trichoepithelioma in mixed-breed dogs, highlighting their distinct microscopic characteristics without suggesting broader clinical implications.
January 2025 in “Mansoura Medical Journal” In this animal study, researchers observed that both aging and lower androgen levels in male albino rats led to significant structural changes in meibomian glands, including reduced acinar cell size, diminished meibum secretion, and increased collagen deposition.
November 2025 in “Quality in Sport” This review found that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation, particularly marine collagen, improves skin hydration, elasticity, and density while strengthening hair and nails, especially when paired with vitamin C and trace elements; however, more studies are necessary to evaluate long-term efficacy across different sources and demographics.
