This study found that a non-scarring alopecia in C3H/HeJ mice resembles human alopecia areata and may serve as a valuable model for studying specific subtypes of the human condition.

This study developed rat monoclonal antibodies that specifically detect Pax1/PAX1 protein, which could improve diagnostic protocols for conditions involving deregulated Pax1/PAX1 expression.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

In this study, researchers found that parasitic dermatitis in dogs is predominantly caused by ectoparasites like fleas and mites, with flea allergy dermatitis being particularly prevalent, and noted that diagnosis typically relies on laboratory methods, while treatments involve insectoacaricidal drugs and prevention strategies.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

This review discusses the use of animal models to study alopecia areata and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing the potential for these models to explore the disease's genetics and treatment.

This case report describes a 16-year-old boy who developed male androgenetic alopecia with a sisaipho pattern, possibly representing a rare, wave-like evolution of alopecia areata.

This study found that among men with androgenetic alopecia, the M-type pattern, either isolated or combined with others, was observed most frequently, using the BASP classification.

This study found that black cohosh extract BNO 1055 reduced testosterone-induced prostate and seminal vesicle growth in rats, suggesting it may contain potent 5α-reductase inhibitors useful for prostate cancer prevention.

This literature review addresses generalized juvenile demodicosis in dogs, describing a case in a 10-month-old Dachshund where corticosteroid treatment worsened the condition, leading to severe pyoderma, intense itching, and widespread hair loss; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

In this study, a dog diagnosed with both ehrlichiosis and demodicosis showed significant clinical improvement after receiving a treatment regimen of doxycycline, ivermectin, diphenhydramine, vitamin B complex, and sulfur soap baths, noticeable by the 14th and 28th days of therapy.

A rare fungal infection caused hair loss in a North American infant.

This study found that asebic mice exhibit abnormal sebaceous gland differentiation and insufficient sebum production due to defective regulation of cell processes, despite possessing normally developing sebaceous glands initially.

This study found that methanolic extract of Eclipta alba leaves exhibited strong antibacterial effects against certain pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but it showed no activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including drug-resistant strains.

In this chemical investigation, cyclospongiaquinone 1 from the sponge Verongula cf. rigida showed strong steroid 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, comparable to that of finasteride.

This study found that Phyllanthus urinaria extract displayed significant anti-alopecia properties in a mouse model, showing potential as an anti-5α-reductase agent for androgenic hair loss.

This study found that ringtailed lemurs consuming leucaena in Berenty absorb mimosine, which causes alopecia without affecting body condition or organ toxicity; this may increase infant mortality due to alopecic mothers.

This chapter reviews bacterial skin diseases in camelids, such as folliculitis, furunculosis, and others, providing diagnostic insights without presenting new clinical results.

This case report describes a 19-year-old with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome developing alopecia areata totalis, discussing potential connections and treatment options like methylprednisolone pulse therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers used an integrated in silico approach to demonstrate that Polygonum multiflorum combats androgenetic alopecia via anthraquinone emodin, which targets PI3K catalytic subunits differently from traditional antiandrogenic treatments, showing potential as a novel therapeutic strategy.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

This review discusses treatments for demodicosis in adults and children and provides no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for careful diagnosis and therapy selection.

This study found that in male badgers, seasonal molting and hair growth are influenced by cycles of plasma testosterone and thyroxine, with hormones affecting the timing and progression of these processes.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

This review discusses the characteristics, geography, and treatment challenges of dermatitis cruris pustulosa et atrophicans in men, emphasizing the need for further research on its etiology and management; it presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers generated a mouse mutation called scraggly, related to hair and skin defects, and mapped it to a genetic location on mouse Chromosome 19 distinct from similar mutations.

Early diagnosis of pseudopelade of Brocq in men is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques is linked to alopecia and possibly relates to stress in females.

This study found that dermoscopy can be a useful tool for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia, particularly in determining hair diameter diversity as an essential feature in Asian populations.
