This study found that human scalp hair follicles can internally operate a Cori cycle, synthesize glycogen in the presence of lactate, and modulate growth through glycogen phosphorylase activity.

In this study, dogs with hair cycle disorders, especially those with alopecia X, showed a significant increase in the number of kenogen follicles, suggesting impaired induction of new hair growth phases.

This review discusses how neuroendocrine pathways influence keratin regulation in human skin and hair follicles and suggests these pathways as potential targets for new treatments of skin disorders, but reports no clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that the epidermal specializations on the tail scales of Lygodactylus lizards, including sensory organs and specific secretory glands, are fully restored with similar structure and distribution on regenerated tails.

This review discusses the negative effects of anabolic androgenic steroids on various organ systems in men and reports no new results, highlighting the need for physician awareness.

This study suggests that dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, and inhibiting androgens may improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes.

This review discusses the broader roles of angiogenic factors, like VEGFs and FGFs, beyond angiogenesis, highlighting their involvement in various biological and pathological processes.

This study found that both ciclosporin A and topical therapy were effective in reducing alopecia and scaling in dogs with idiopathic sebaceous adenitis, with evidence suggesting improved outcomes when both treatments are combined.

This review discusses the dermatology of nonhuman primates and emphasizes the need for a cohesive approach to study and report their dermatologic diseases, without assuming similarities to human or other veterinary conditions.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for effective treatments owing to limited evidence of current therapies' efficacy.

This study found that feline superficial pyoderma was more prevalent in the dermatology-referral cats studied than previously reported, affecting mainly young cats with hypersensitivities and manifesting various lesion types.

This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.

This study found that recombinant hepatitis B vaccine may increase the risk of alopecia areata onset in older predisposed mice but larger trials suggest this effect might lie within normal variation.

In this study, researchers reported that CD34 expression in the isthmic region of canine hair follicles suggests a potential stem cell compartment in this area.

This study reports that generalized discoid lupus erythematosus is a recognized canine variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, resembling its human counterpart, with varied treatment responses and common relapses.

This review discusses the addition of skin cancer caused by UV irradiation to the list of occupational diseases in Germany and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hair regrowth in Pomeranians with hair cycle arrest treated with melatonin was not associated with a change in oestrogen receptor-α staining.

This study found that the season of the year does not significantly affect the hair regrowth rate or the telogen: anagen ratio in indoor-housed Labrador retrievers.

Dermoscopy is a good, noninvasive way to see normal cat skin structures and could be useful for check-ups.

This article reviews the cutaneous reactions and characteristic skin changes associated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and new targeted cancer treatments, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, amitraz was found to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for resolving sarcoptic mange in alpacas, demonstrating no relapse over a 10-month follow-up.

This study observed that follicular dysplasia in Weimar Pointers produces histopathological features and hair abnormalities similar to color dilution alopecia, though less severe.

This study found that topical melatonin and vigorous brushing did not affect hair regrowth in clipped Siberian Huskies, although lumbosacral hairs grew significantly shorter than lateral thigh hairs.

This study found that dermoscopy can identify distinctive features in canine pattern alopecia, such as hair shaft thinning and pigmentation patterns, which may aid in diagnosing this and potentially other skin disorders.

In this study, dogs with sebaceous adenitis were treated with oral vitamin A, but responses varied widely, showing improvements in some cases while others experienced no benefit.

Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

In this study, researchers found that microRNAs and specific target genes, such as MiR-195 and genes like CHP1, SMAD2, FZD6, and SIAH1, play significant roles in regulating hair follicle initiation in cashmere goats.

This study reports a case where excessive consumption of "paradise nuts" led to acute selenium toxicity and massive hair loss.
