This study identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36) associated with cold climate adaptation in Yanbian cattle through genome resequencing and comparison with African tropical cattle.

This study examined the skin transcriptomic differences between Jiangnan and Changthangi cashmere goats, identifying 4,942 differentially expressed genes that may contribute to variations in cashmere quality, with notable enrichment in various signaling pathways and structural components of hair follicles.

This study found that the natural alkaloid cepharanthine effectively inhibited porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection in newborn piglets.

This study identifies a strong association between a 505-bp indel mutation in the FGF5 gene and cashmere growth in goats, suggesting potential use as a genetic marker in breeding programs.

This study found that minicircle-based gene therapy significantly lowered total homocysteine levels and improved liver CBS activity in a mouse model of CBS deficiency.

In this case report, a 17-year-old Korean female with Vogt–Koyanagi–Harada syndrome showed positive improvement in her symptoms following systemic glucocorticosteroid pulse therapy, highlighting the rarity and importance of early disease detection.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This study found that among Large White × Min pigs, 15 significant copy number variation regions were associated with villi hair traits, and identified candidate genes potentially linked to cold resistance, suggesting implications for breeding cold-resistant pigs.

In a mouse model study, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) significantly reduced depigmentation in vitiligo, potentially through mechanisms that regulate oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating taVNS's promise as a therapeutic approach for this skin disorder.

This study proposes a deep learning model using CNN with VGG16, VGG19, and MobileNetV2 architectures, achieving high accuracy in classifying scalp diseases from images, potentially facilitating diagnosis and treatment via mobile devices.

This study found that carvone, a plant-derived compound, decreases melanin content and inhibits melanoma cell proliferation through the cAMP pathway, suggesting potential benefits for treating melanomas and other hyperpigmentation disorders.

This study found that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing followed by imputation effectively identifies genetic variants associated with wool traits in Angora rabbits, offering a cost-efficient method for genetic research and breeding.

In this study, researchers developed a mouse model of scarring alopecia and observed significant reductions in CD200R expression in affected skin, potentially linking this signaling pathway to immune attacks on hair follicles and suggesting new treatment targets for scarring hair loss.

This case report describes the youngest known patient with viral-associated trichodysplasia of immunosuppression, where systemic valganciclovir therapy improved facial papule eruptions following cardiac transplantation.

This study introduced the C-CAT, a new assessment tool for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, and found that established treatments improved symptoms in most patients over six months.

This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

This case study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, particularly emphasizing the role dermatologists can play in identifying early signs such as hair loss.

ICL is a condition with low CD4+ T cells like AIDS but not caused by HIV, and normal CD4+ T cell counts may vary between men and women.

This study found that VDAC2 promotes apoptosis in secondary hair follicle stem cells of Albas cashmere goats by activating the P53 signaling pathway, with knockdown of VDAC2 reducing apoptosis and a P53 inhibitor partially rescuing VDAC2-induced apoptosis.

This study explored dermatoscopic and histopathologic findings of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia beyond the vertex scalp, suggesting that dermatoscopy might serve as a less invasive diagnostic tool for subclinical disease.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

People with androgenetic alopecia may have a higher genetic risk for cardiovascular diseases.

This study evaluated a new computer-aided detection system for identifying Breast Arterial Calcification in mammograms, achieving 70% accuracy, but highlighted the need for a larger dataset to explore its relationship with cardiovascular diseases.

This study found an increased number of perivascular mast cells and upregulated CB1 expression in patients with IgA vasculitis compared to healthy individuals, suggesting potential involvement in the disease's pathogenesis and inflammation.

This study investigated circRNA expression in Zhongwei goat skin at different growth stages and found that certain circRNAs, such as circRNA8782 and circRNA3173, may play roles in regulating wool curvature by affecting signaling pathways and fibroblast proliferation.

Prasugrel is better than clopidogrel at preventing heart damage and improving blood flow in small heart vessels during heart artery procedures.

This study identified a 505-bp indel variant in the FGF5 gene associated with cashmere growth in goats, which may serve as a molecular marker in cashmere goat breeding programs.

This study found that ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization can detect subtle skin changes linked to carotene and vitamin A deficiency, which improved with dietary correction in deficient individuals.
