This study found that dengue virus infection caused inflammation and cell death in human hair-follicle dermal papilla cells, which may contribute to increased hair shedding observed during the epidemic in Taiwan.

This report discusses the use of intralesional cidofovir and suggests it might be a viable option for treating SCC due to its successful outcome without observed systemic toxicity in this case.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This case study reports that intralesional cidofovir was successfully used for treatment without systemic toxicity, suggesting it might be an option worth considering for SCC.

This study observed that human skin exhibits acute and chronic histological changes due to tick bites, including inflammation and changes in hair follicles, influenced by tick saliva and possible infections.

This study found that livedoid and acro-ischemic skin manifestations were significantly associated with severe COVID-19, while chilblains-like eruptions appeared in less severe cases.

This study presents a microscopic analysis of the pruritic variant of trichostasis spinulosa in two patients and reviews existing literature, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that topical application of Citrullus colocynthis extracts reduced hair growth initiation and completion times in albino rats and resulted in similar hair follicle anagen phase activation as minoxidil.

This study found that dermatoscopy is useful for diagnosing and assessing primary cicatricial alopecias in Chinese patients, with alopecia mucinosa having a distinct feature of patulous follicular openings.

This case report described two siblings with uncombable hair syndrome characterized by unique hair features, and identified a new pathogenic variant in the PADI3 gene (c.1374dup; p. Val459ArgfsTer15) not previously documented.

This review examines factors influencing dermatophyte infection in companion animals, focusing on prevalence, clinical signs, pathogenesis, immune response, and the impact of cortisol and cytokines, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a Persian cat with Acute Moist Dermatitis triggered by ectoparasite infestation and complicated by systemic infection, which required intensive treatment including antiparasitics and antibiotics.

This study reports that CD200R expression is significantly reduced in an experimental mouse model of scarring alopecia, suggesting a potential role for this pathway in immune regulation and hair follicle protection.

This study found that the biosynthetic pathways of coumestans in Eclipta prostrata are derived from acetate and shikimate pathways, while 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid biosynthesis originates exclusively from the shikimate pathway.

This study reports that folliculitis decalvans and lichen planopilaris phenotypic spectrum is an underdiagnosed form of cicatricial alopecia, potentially treatable with anti-inflammatory drugs used for lichen planopilaris.

This case study reports a prolonged incubation period of over 8 years for a C. gattii infection in a cat that likely originated from exposure in California, suggesting the fungus may remain dormant longer than previously thought.

This study found that Cupiennius salei spiders have specialized mechanosensitive hairs on their legs that adaptively respond to joint movements during walking, suggesting a proprioceptive function.

This case study reported that reducing glucocorticoids resolved calcinosis cutis in a dog with hypoadrenocorticism, while demodicosis was treated with a fluralaner chewable tablet.

This study found that a significant number of boreal woodland caribou in NE British Columbia showed symptoms of trace mineral deficiencies and exposure to various pathogens, with substantial winter tick infestations affecting a majority of individuals.

Murine cytomegalovirus does not cause alopecia areata in these mice.

This study identified 14 different phytoconstituents in the methanolic fruit extract of Citrullus colocynthis, suggesting its potential pharmacological importance.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and immune response to Rhodococcus equi infection in foals but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers investigated the immunohistopathological characteristics of the skin in individuals during the acute phase of chikungunya infection, revealing CHIKV antigens and inflammatory infiltrates in various skin components and highlighting the role of cytokines/chemokines in the disease's skin manifestations.

This report describes a case of dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in tropical and temperate climates, affecting a female dog with alopecia on its neck and ear tip.

This chapter reviews common dermatoses in small animals and offers bulleted lists as a preliminary tool for formulating differential diagnoses, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report highlights the importance of maintaining clinical suspicion for tinea incognito in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia who do not respond to typical corticosteroid treatments, as misdiagnosis can complicate treatment.

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
