This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This study identified a marked reduction in melanin in the hair of Yorkshire Terriers with Colour Dilution Alopecia and proposed a new pathogenetic mechanism based on these observations.

This study reported that a three-dimensional hydrogel culture system supports the growth and maintenance of distinct dermal papilla cell types, crucial for skin reconstitution assays in neonatal mice.

Dermoscopy is useful for many health professionals, not just dermatologists, in improving skin condition diagnoses and reducing unnecessary biopsies.

This study reports that hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction and direct hair implantation can effectively restore scalp hair in post-burn alopecia, achieving natural hair direction and satisfactory growth density.

This study found that visits for hair- and scalp-related disorders to a derm clinic increased significantly over a decade, with androgenetic alopecia showing the largest rise.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

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

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

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.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This study found that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 can partially reverse the negative impact of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells in human scalps, suggesting potential for treating stress-related hair loss.

The book helps doctors better understand and treat hair disorders due to gaps in their training.

This report describes two South Australian Poll Hereford calves with a syndrome of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia, dyskeratosis, and progressive alopecia, observing specific blood and bone marrow abnormalities.

Photographic imaging is crucial for documenting and managing hair loss, requiring careful preparation and standardization to be effective.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the function and pathology of hair follicles and highlights the potential of using dogs as a model to study human hair and stem cell disorders, but presents no new experimental results.
