This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

The document concludes that better understanding the wound microbiome can improve chronic wound care by preserving helpful bacteria and targeting harmful ones.

This review discusses the rhizobia-legume interaction, focusing on infection thread formation and its relation to root hair and pollen tube growth, and reports no new experimental results; the authors call for more studies on early nodulins' role.

This study found that Piedraia hortae invades and damages human hair by slowly degrading keratin in the cortex, which may contribute to the fungus's persistence and the chronic nature of the infection.

This study found that extracts from the medicinal plants *Echinops echinatus* and *Tridax procumbens* displayed antimicrobial activity against several bacteria, including *Escherichia coli* and *Staphylococcus aureus*, and identified various compounds like flavonoids and terpenoids potentially responsible for these effects.

In this study of sheep across various breeds and ages, researchers found that Trichophyton mentagrophytes caused severe dermatophytosis, especially affecting young Shahbadi sheep during winter, leading to notable anemia and skin lesions.

This study found that Plant Elicitor Peptides enhance root hair growth through a mechanism independent of their known receptors, with PROPEP2 playing a key role in this process by influencing gene expression related to root hair formation.

This study identified a fungal sulfotransferase enzyme, FgSULT1, from *Fusarium graminearum*, expanding the sulfotransferase superfamily and offering new biocatalytic methods for producing bioactive sulfates.

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.

Understanding how our bodies interact with mosquito-borne viruses is crucial because there are few treatments and vaccines.

This article reviews the role of Pityrosporum (Malassezia) in skin conditions such as pityriasis versicolor, seborrheic dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis, and discusses treatment approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats, highlighting the role of Microsporum canis and the public health implications of zoophilic dermatophytes, affecting roughly 20-25% of the global population.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermatophytosis in a young cat caused by Microsporum gypseum, confirmed by molecular analyses to be Arthroderma gypseum.

This study observed that rhizobacterial strain RT3 significantly improved drought tolerance in lettuce by increasing survival rates and fresh biomass after rewatering, with metabolites such as proline and glycine enhancing stress resilience.

This study synthesized a temperature-sensitive hydrogel with strong antibacterial capabilities against S. aureus and E. coli, demonstrated via in vitro and in vivo tests, suggesting potential for antibiotic-free clinical applications when activated by near-infrared light.

This study discusses the epithelial-immune microenvironment in chronic skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and highlights current and future treatment strategies targeting inflammatory loops within these diseases.

This study identified the presence of recognizable organelles, such as lysosomes and mitochondria, in both the keratinized fiber and the hardened inner root sheath of the Romney wool follicle.

This review explores the applications of phytonutrient-based biosensors in micro-electrochemical systems and reports no new experimental findings, emphasizing the potential and challenges of this innovative approach.

This study observed that Nod factor stimulation in alfalfa roots leads to dynamic changes in the cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting a mechanism for root hair growth changes.

This study found that the AtSfh1 protein in Arabidopsis is essential for phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate signaling crucial to polarized root hair growth, utilizing both phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine-binding activities.

This study in Arabidopsis thaliana found that exposure to volatile compounds from Penicillium aurantiogriseum promotes root hair growth through signaling involving RALF22, ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis, and that RALF22 plays a crucial role in the plants' response to these compounds.

This study found that a positive feedback loop involving RHD2, reactive oxygen species, and calcium ions helps maintain root hair growth sites and influences cell shape in Arabidopsis thaliana.

T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.

In this study using a mouse model, researchers utilized single-cell RNA sequencing to create a comprehensive cellular atlas of infected versus uninfected wounds, revealing that Enterococcus faecalis infections lead to immunosuppressive changes in skin cells and disrupt normal wound healing processes.

This paper discusses the cellular and molecular processes involved in root hair growth in higher plants, focusing on cytological phenomena and the effects of growth regulators and mutations, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, dermatophytosis was prevalent among 52% of dogs and 70% of cats with skin lesions, with younger animals facing higher infection risks; combined itraconazole, clotrimazole, supportive care, and vaccination led to the fastest recovery.

This study found that higher doses of zinc increased cell growth but also induced cell death in human follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a narrow dosage range may affect hair regrowth.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in South India had higher body mass index, waist/hip ratio, and elevated levels of several hormones compared to controls, and waist/hip ratio may be a better risk indicator than body mass index.
