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 reports that bilateral adrenalectomy and DOC treatment in mink significantly advanced the onset of summer fur growth compared to controls, indicating adrenal hormones may inhibit this process.

This study found super-contraction in the guard hairs of fur-bearing animals, likely due to oxidation in living animals, primarily affecting white and red foxes without prior heat or chemical treatment.

This study found that distinct hair fiber structures among blue fox, mink, and otter rabbit can be used to identify and differentiate these fur types.

This study examined the sensory innervation of hair follicles in the furry skin of rat hindlimbs, finding significant differences among hair types in their innervation patterns and densities.

This study observed that adult male raccoon dogs undergo seasonal moults, with winter fur maturing by the end of November after significant hair growth in spring and autumn.

This study found that in Chinese Alashan Left Banner White Cashmere goats, guard hair length was positively correlated with guard hair diameter and down fiber length, but not with body weight at first combing.

This study observed that pelage development in male blue foxes born in early June was more synchronized than those born in early May, with differences likely influenced by melatonin levels.

This research examined the ultrastructure of deer hair fibers and found significant variations in diameter, cuticle thickness, and intermediate filament arrangements among different fiber types.

This study in mice found that overexpressing Sonic Hedgehog in basal cells caused skin anomalies and a lack of certain hair fibers, underscoring its key role in hair follicle development.

This review discusses the role of Edar signaling in hair follicle development and cycling, emphasizing its impact on cell fate, differentiation, and interactions with other pathways, but reports no new results.

This study found that measuring reproductive hormone levels in brown bear hair may effectively support non-invasive genetic sampling, though larger samples or more sensitive techniques are needed for broader application.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

Among Australian fur seals at one colony, this study found that alopecia, primarily affecting juvenile females, is linked to hair shaft fractures associated with low tyrosine and zinc levels, as well as higher pollutant exposure.

This study reported that mannan oligosaccharides improved the fur quality, immune response, antioxidant status, and gut microbiota of fur-growing raccoon dogs, suggesting they could potentially replace antibiotics in their diet.

This study reported that captive muskoxen in Fairbanks, Alaska have significantly faster and variable guard hair growth rates compared to free-ranging Greenland muskoxen, indicating that a universal hair growth rate cannot be applied across different muskox populations or time periods.

This study found that adrenal hormones appear to inhibit winter fur growth onset in mink and may affect the duration of inactivity between fur growth periods.

This article describes a new subcision technique intended to simplify the procedure for surgeons without reporting clinical results or outcomes.

This study investigated neonatal mortality and health threats to Guadalupe fur seals in Mexico's San Benito Archipelago, finding a 29.52% mortality rate largely due to trauma and emaciation/infectious disease, with high rates of alopecia syndrome and entanglement linked to marine debris, primarily from local sources.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This review discusses dermatological issues in llamas, detailing common findings, parasites, and disorders, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for recognizing normal skin variations and discusses potential treatments like zinc therapy for certain conditions.

This review evaluates the hormonal, metabolic, and clinical aspects of a male equivalent PCOS syndrome in men and highlights areas where further research is needed, reporting no new empirical findings.

In this mouse study, NF-κB was shown to play a role in hair follicle cycling and morphogenesis, with specific activity patterns differing by hair type and involving noncanonical signaling for zigzag hair bending.

This study found that repeated immunization against melatonin in Australian feral goats temporarily increased cashmere production and altered growth cycles, but these effects diminished after the first year.

This study evaluated a newly formulated polyherbal anti-dandruff shampoo that incorporates natural ingredients, such as Neem and Aloe vera, to effectively clean hair, control dandruff, and promote hair growth without using harmful synthetic chemicals.

In this study, silver foxes given a yeast "filtrate factor" supplement retained their fur and normal pelts, while those without it experienced fur loss and thymus abnormalities.

In this study, supplementing low-protein diets with 0.75% methionine maintained growth performance, improved fur quality, enhanced nutrient utilization, and supported intestinal microbiota balance in blue foxes, with significant results on several biochemical parameters and nutrient digestibility observed.

In this study, researchers explored the use of natural herbal hair dyes made from tannin-producing plants like henna and pomegranate, reporting that these dyes can permanently color hair without causing damage or irritation, unlike synthetic dyes.

The document suggests that Alopecia X in dogs is mainly a cosmetic issue and might be better left untreated.

This study found that lower dietary protein with supplemented methionine allowed blue foxes to grow normally and produce high-quality pelts while reducing feed costs and environmental phosphorus and nitrogen loads.
