In this study, researchers found that deleting Med1, a key epigenetic regulator in dental epithelia, led to hair growth on mouse incisors by altering enhancer landscapes and causing a switch from dental to hair lineage transcription programs.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This study reported complete clinical clearance of tinea capitis in a 3-year-old boy after 8 weeks of treatment with oral griseofulvin and ketoconazole shampoo.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with lamellar ichthyosis who showed marked improvement in scaling and skin stiffness after six weeks of treatment with emollient and supportive therapy.

This case report describes a girl diagnosed with ADULT syndrome, highlighting its rarity, varied presentation, and the importance of early diagnosis to prevent unnecessary stress and medical expenses.

This case report describes a presumptive case of ichthyosis fetalis in a cross-bred lamb and highlights the need for this rare condition in sheep to be considered by veterinarians in the differential diagnosis of dermatopathies.

This study found that the progression of fetal skin development, marked by key features like the appearance of hair follicles and eccrine sweat glands, can help determine fetal age and predict congenital skin diseases.

This article reviews the causes and diagnostic approaches for feline alopecia, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between self-inflicted and spontaneous hair loss, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the fundamental features of hair follicle biology and its clinical importance, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that Foxn1 expression in keratinocytes influences pigmentation in mice, highlighting differences in the molecular mechanisms between mouse and human pigmentation processes.

This case series reports that electrochemotherapy with intravenous bleomycin effectively resolved cutaneous mast cell tumors in four cats, showing no tumor recurrence during follow-up, except for new lesions in one cat, and minimal local toxicity.

This study found that Plakophilin 1 regulates innate immune responses in keratinocytes by controlling RNA helicase activity, balancing inflammation during epidermal immune challenges.

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.

In this comprehensive review, researchers examine the p63 gene's crucial role in skin development and pathology, highlighting its regulation of cell processes and its potential therapeutic implications for disorders like ectodermal dysplasia.

In this study, the authors explored the role of Lgr5+ hair follicle stem cells and their regulation through the Wnt/-catenin pathway, highlighting how precise modulation of this pathway is crucial for treating hair loss safely and effectively.

This study documented that dermatophytosis was highly prevalent in Basra's cats, particularly affecting males and cats under nine months, with lesions most frequent on ears, face, and abdomen.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

This study outlines the complex structure and various functions of the skin, emphasizing its role as a barrier against external insults, a sensory receptor, and its importance in vitamin D synthesis.

This study found that hairless dog breeds have adapted to maintain normal body and core temperatures through structural changes like a thicker epidermis and the role of melanin in thermoregulation, with genetic mechanisms involving the FOXI3 gene governing hairlessness.

This case report described a young Himalayan kitten in Indonesia with notoedric mange, treated successfully with topical selamectin and sarolaner, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management to prevent reinfestation, especially in urban areas.

This review provides current insights into the role of Demodex mites in acne and rosacea, detailing their involvement in sebaceous gland diseases due to their potential to cause inflammation and disrupt skin microbial balance, while suggesting methods to correct mite overgrowth.

In this study, researchers explored the diverse causes of alopecia in dogs, highlighting how factors such as infection, hormonal imbalances, and genetic conditions contribute to hair loss, and emphasized the importance of tailored diagnostics and treatment strategies.

Secreted inhibitors of Wnt and IGF signaling control hair and tooth development, creating species-specific patterns.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of accurately diagnosing congenital atrichia with papules—a condition marked by hair loss and papular skin lesions—differentiating it from other similar disorders to prevent unnecessary treatments and inform families about its benign but irreversible nature.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

This study found that chromosomal microarray analysis identified copy number variations in 12% of patients with dysmorphic features and congenital anomalies, demonstrating its potential as a diagnostic tool, especially for rare CNVs and immune deficiency linked to the deletion of CTLA4.

This study investigated Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in ten patients, finding severe taste abnormalities in the anterior tongue linked to tongue papillary atrophy, which improved with treatment. Taste function tests were helpful in evaluating treatment effectiveness for this rare disorder.

In this study, stray cats in Bogor exhibited skin and fur issues, abnormal respiratory and heart rates likely due to stress, increased eosinophils, low platelet counts suggesting parasitic infestation, and hyposthenuria in urine tests potentially linked to low water intake or fasting.

Mutations in the WNT10A gene cause Short Anagen Hair syndrome and increase the risk of male pattern hair loss.
