This study found that finasteride, which alters plant brassinosteroid metabolism, significantly reduced sporulation of the downy mildew pathogen in grapevines, unlike azole fungicide treatments.

This study found that Trichophyton spp. was the most common dermatophyte affecting dogs with alopecia and pruritus in Thrissur district, Kerala, being identified in 68% of cases.

This review highlights the therapeutic potential of plant-derived exosomes, noting their larger size compared to animal-derived exosomes and usefulness in targeted drug delivery and inter-kingdom communication. It summarizes existing research on their biogenesis, characterization, and engineering for drug delivery, indicating significant opportunities for biotechnological advancements.

This study suggests that deep dermatophytosis is a distinct condition occurring in immunocompromised patients, characterized by nodules, an indolent course, and absence of follicular invasion, which resolves completely with systemic antifungal treatment.

This study highlights that dermatophytosis, a common fungal skin infection in cats, caused by Microsporum and Trichophyton species, typically resolves on its own but may be more severe in immunocompromised individuals and young animals.

In this study, researchers found that psoriasis patients with untreated lesions showed increased activation of defensins, matrix metalloproteinases, and neuropeptides, which may be stimulated by specific inflammation pathways.

This study found that applying 120L ha-1 yr-1 of SCD Probiotics to soil significantly increased soil microbial biomass and enzyme activity compared to lower doses and control, but showed no impact on auxin production.

In this study, mycorrhizal fungal inoculation was associated with increased root-hair growth and enhanced drought tolerance in trifoliate orange by modulating auxin synthesis and transport under water stress conditions.

This review highlights how disruptions in the host microbiome can worsen inflammation and infection-related pathology, while it remains unclear exactly how the microbiome helps resolve such inflammation, potentially impacting future treatments for infection-induced inflammatory diseases.

Staphylococcus epidermidis affects hair growth and metabolism, suggesting it could help manage hair growth issues.

This review highlights Malassezia's dual role as both protective and pathogenic within the hair follicle ecosystem, noting its involvement in skin disorders and potential cancer progression, and calls for further studies to develop targeted treatments for related conditions.

This study found that 90% of African pygmy hedgehogs at Golden Dhonje Farm in Bogor District were affected by potential zoonotic fungi, including Scopulariopsis sp. and Penicillium sp.

This study found diverse and distinct microbial communities in dry and wet habitats of Duku plants, with varying relative abundances linked to plant health and soil nutrient interactions.

This article reviews various dermatophyte infections, particularly tinea capitis, and discusses their clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the BIK1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana modulates defense responses to pathogens and is essential for normal root growth and development.

This study introduced the dual-flow-RootChip platform to demonstrate that Arabidopsis roots exhibit non-autonomous adaptations, such as hair growth regulation, when subjected to varied environmental conditions on opposite sides.

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.

This study observed that extracellular ATP is present in Medicago truncatula and correlates with regions of active cell growth, suggesting its integral role in plant development.

This study observed that interferon β secreted by dermal papilla cells may negatively regulate the growth of outer root sheath cells in hair follicles.

In this study, the pi4kβ1β2 double mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana exhibited altered root growth, increased susceptibility to Blumeria graminis, and a potential correlation between PI4K activity and auxin response and immunity due to changes in vesicular trafficking and actin filaments.

In this report, two Persian cats and their owner with low immunity due to chemotherapy were identified with a rare dermatophytic infection caused by Chrysosporium spp., and the infection improved following fluconazole treatment.

This review discusses various amino acid-derived plant defensive compounds and highlights their potential as drug leads due to their potent antimicrobial properties, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that during bark regeneration after girdling, immature xylem cells can transdifferentiate into phloem cells, with exogenous indole acetic acid accelerating this process.

This study observed that Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both reduced inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats, but only Poria cocos polysaccharides reversed related changes in the gut microbiota.

This study found that in Arabidopsis seedlings, tonoplast intrinsic proteins are targeted to the vacuole via at least two pathways, including pathways with differing sensitivity to a chemical inhibitor that affect root hair growth and PIN2 targeting.

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with vitiligo who developed a rare dermatophyte infection encircling one of her vitiligo patches, possibly due to immunosuppression from her treatment.

This study observed that maize plants enhance phosphorus acquisition by promoting both root hair growth and lateral root development in response to localized nutrient patches, highlighting a complementary root trait trade-off.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

This article reviews the physical factors influencing the growth of fungi, focusing on the genus Trametes and their ecological roles, but reports no new empirical findings.

In this study, the researchers shared their experiences with using local intracanal antibiotic therapy for treating endodontic bacterial infections, noting that current disinfectants, though effective, are highly toxic to human cells.
