This case report describes a Salem black kid with alopecia and other symptoms, which was diagnosed with anaplasmosis due to Anaplasma ovis infection combined with copper deficiency, as confirmed by laboratory tests including blood smears and serum biochemistry.

This case report describes a woman diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome whose gastrointestinal symptoms and alopecia improved significantly after systemic prednisone treatment, with no recurrence four years after a second treatment course.

This study found that inhibiting autophagy in mouse preputial glands alters lipid metabolism, delays aging-related duct changes, and reduces pheromone production, indicating autophagy's critical role in gland homeostasis and cell breakdown during secretion.

This study found that autophagy in the preputial glands of mice plays a crucial role in regulating lipid and fatty acid metabolism, as well as pheromone production.

This study demonstrated that transplanting in vitro differentiated Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells on acellular dermal grafts led to complete skin regeneration with appendages in a mouse model of full-thickness wounds.

This case report highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

This article reviews the morphogenesis and cycling of hair follicles and the complex signaling pathways involved, without reporting new experimental results.

This perspective highlights the potential of reptile integument as an experimental model to understand the evolution of amniote skin structures, but reports no new research findings.

Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.

This study demonstrates that hair follicle bulge stem cells can transition into other stem cell compartments, indicating their role in maintaining both hair follicles and sebaceous glands.

The authors suggest that tooth, dermal scale, epidermal scale, feather, and hair evolved in parallel from a shared placode/dermal cell unit in an early vertebrate gnathostome with odontodes, around 420 million years ago.

This study highlights a case where progressive baldness initially diagnosed as alopecia universalis was attributed to a basal cell hamartoma of each hair follicle, stressing the importance of skin biopsies for unusual alopecia cases.

This study found that nevoid basal cell carcinomas originate in the epidermis and upper hair follicles, resembling early nonnevoid basal cell carcinoma proliferations.

This study found that reducing BMP signaling in mouse nipple epithelia, achieved through Noggin overexpression, can convert them into hairy skin with pilosebaceous units.

This study indicated that abnormal Bmp signaling in β-catenin gain-of-function mutants is associated with anorectal malformations, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying these congenital conditions.

This study found significant variation in tissue mutant load in individuals with the T8993G mutation, which complicates genetic counseling and may inform genotype-phenotype correlations, especially using hair bulb mtDNA analysis.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

In this mouse study, researchers found that the absence of laminin-511 in skin delays hair follicle development and disrupts hair shaft differentiation, affecting key transcription factors for hair keratins.

This study found that transplanting GFP transgenic tail skin onto wild-type mice leads to partial replacement of dermis, nerves, and blood vessels by recipient tissue after six months, while epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands persist from the graft.

In this study, transiently activating the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in chickens transformed reticulate scales on the feet into feathers comparable to body feathers, without ongoing treatment, suggesting this pathway affects the diversity of bird skin appendages.

This report describes common cutaneous reaction patterns in cats with non-flea induced hypersensitivity dermatitis but does not provide new experimental findings or results.

This narrative review explores the molecular mechanisms driving skin development and their role in skin diseases, emphasizing how disruptions in these pathways can lead to conditions like congenital disorders and cancers, potentially guiding new targeted therapies.

This study reports previously unreported nail features in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, specifically recurrent onychomadesis of all 20 nails linked to systemic illness.

This review discusses the clinical presentations of alopecia areata, introduces guidelines for treatment studies, and explores potential changes in cutaneous innervation, but reports no new clinical results.

This report explores the potential cellular origins of keratoacanthoma lesions on the oral mucosa, noting that it reports no new results.

In this study, researchers found that cyclophosphamide treatment unexpectedly reduced splenic melanin deposition in a murine model, whereas this effect was down-regulated more by the normal and dystrophic catagen phase of the hair cycle.

This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This case report describes the first known instance of congenital atrichia combined with situs inversus and mesocardia in a 2-year-old male.

This study found that specialized nipple epidermis in mice is maintained by the repression of TGFβ signaling through estrogen, which highlights the role of hormonal regulation in epidermal maintenance.
