This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.

This report describes three cases of white piedra of scalp hair, identifying Trichosporon inkin and Trichosporon mucoides as the fungi responsible, which are uncommon causes of this condition.

This case report describes a 36-year-old man with tinea incognito manifesting as asymptomatic, flat patches of alopecia, which did not improve with standard treatments.

In this research, sequencing the chloroplast genomes of 10 Sansevieria trifasciata cultivars allowed the identification of a trnT-psbD deletion marker capable of distinguishing closely related species, and highlighted evolutionary links with Dracaena, contributing molecular tools for taxonomy and phylogenetic studies in Asparagaceae.

The researchers reported a case of a neotropical porcupine co-infected with Brazilian porcupine poxvirus and Toxoplasma gondii, suggesting the need for further investigation into the impact of this interaction.

In this study, researchers found that 32.5% of stray cats in Bogor, Indonesia, tested positive for dermatophyte infections, specifically Microsporum canis, highlighting the potential zoonotic risk these cats pose.

This case report describes an adult Italian woman with endothrix tinea capitis, highlighting the unusual finding of telogen-sparing arthroconidia involvement during the infection.

This study found that the S. epidermidis A/C lineage is more pathogenic due to its metabolic and genomic versatility, which allows it to adapt quickly from a commensal to a pathogenic lifestyle.

This study found that the protein Formin 2 helps regulate cell-to-cell transport in thale cress by stabilizing actin filaments at plasmodesmata, with its absence leading to increased permeability and vulnerability to viral infections.

This case report describes a high school wrestler whose forearm rash was initially misdiagnosed as eczema, later identified as Majocchi's granuloma, and successfully treated with oral antifungal therapy after a biopsy.

This research outlines the significant morbidity and economic impact of dermatophytosis, a contagious fungal disease affecting skin, hair, and nails, with heightened severity in immune-compromised individuals and poor environmental conditions.

This study identified that spermidine-mediated activation of eIF5A by hypusination plays a significant role in Arabidopsis thaliana growth, flowering time, stress adaptation, and development, including changing root and aerial architecture.

This study seeks to clarify the terminology and classification of keratoacanthoma and similar squamous cell carcinoma lesions with central keratin-filled craters to aid in accurate differential diagnosis.

This case report describes a 25-year-old male with multiple keratoacanthomas that responded to intralesional methotrexate and oral acitretin treatment.

This study suggests that keratin expression in keratoacanthomas resembles that in the upper part of hair follicles, implying a potential origin, but it is indistinguishable from squamous cell carcinomas in terms of keratin reactivity.

In this study, researchers investigated how rhizosphere microorganisms, including specific bacteria and fungi, can regulate plant root architecture in acidic red soils by mechanisms such as hormone production and phosphorus solubilization, potentially enhancing soil productivity.

This review discusses feline dermatophytosis and emphasizes the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrated increased phosphorus acquisition and growth compared to root hair mutants under low-phosphorus conditions.

This study identifies two new proteins, CCDC22 and CCDC93, essential for root and root hair growth in Arabidopsis, and demonstrates their genetic link to a VTI13-dependent vacuolar trafficking pathway.

In this study, researchers evaluated 27 drugs for antifungal activity against Cryptococcus strains and found that some antiparasitics and antidepressants showed potential by reducing fungal growth and capsule size, with particular enhancements when combined with fluconazole.

In this study, researchers isolated five new compounds from Monascus purpureus wmd2424 and found that four exhibited mild antifungal activity against several fungi.

This study identifies sexual activity as a significant potential transmission route for Trichophyton interdigitale, causing tinea genitalis among travelers to South East Asia.

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.

This report describes a case of tinea capitis caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, highlighting its unusual ability to perforate hair and act as an etiological agent for the condition.

This study found that Poria cocos extract may enhance human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation through the AKT signaling pathway, indicating its potential for hair growth promotion.

This study found that terbinafine prevented the invasion of keratin by Trichophyton mentagrophytes in experimental models replicating human dermatomycoses.

This study observed an outbreak of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton species in farmed mink in the USA, affecting primarily dark-colored kits with skin lesions.

This research found that nod factor can induce root hair reorientation and gene expression in Medicago truncatula with as little as a single molecule, implicating heterotrimeric G-protein signaling in this process.

This article discusses the importance of differential diagnosis and adequate treatment for tinea capitis, a common scalp infection in children, and reports no new results.
