This study found that melatonin implants caused male weasels to molt, develop a new white winter coat, and become reproductively inactive, suggesting melatonin affects their neuroendocrine system.

In this study, naked mole-rats demonstrated unique skin and hair follicle innervation features compared to other species, suggesting adaptations to their subterranean environment and poikilothermy.

This study observed that after hair cell loss in the mouse cochlea, supporting cells were replaced by migrating non-specialised cells, with genetic background affecting the rate of tissue re-organization.

This study established and validated a visual scale to assess hair shedding in women with thick hair, finding it effective in distinguishing greater hair loss among women with female pattern hair loss compared to those without.

This study reported that relocation in police horses was associated with elevated hair cortisol concentrations, possibly suggesting altered welfare due to changed surroundings, and that seasonal variations affected both cortisol levels and hair growth.

In this study, the authors observed that Staphylococcus aureus lipase gehB is crucial for bacterial penetration of hair follicles in mice, implicating lipases in inflammation and skin damage.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind cashmere goat coat types by analyzing gene expression during hair follicle development stages, identifying regulatory pathways involved in metabolism, immune response, and the quiescent state of follicles, potentially aiding in genetic selection for improved cashmere production.

This study found significant differences in mRNA and miRNA expression between yak dermal papilla cells and epidermal hair matrix cells, suggesting important roles for these molecules in hair follicle development.

This study found that root hairs of wild-type Arabidopsis grow faster and longer under low potassium stress, with changes in actin filament dynamics and specific regulation by the actin bundling proteins VLN1 and VLN4.

This study found that low temperature triggers root hair elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana through a FERONIA-ROP2-TORC signaling pathway, also activated by nitrogen deficiency.

This study found that Arabidopsis thaliana plants developed longer root hairs under low phosphorus conditions, suggesting auxin involvement in this adaptive response.

This study found that zinc deficiency in goats led to lower plasma zinc levels, decreased growth rate, smaller testicles, reduced libido, and was associated with higher mortality compared to control goats.

This study found that in Arabidopsis, the MYB30-EIN3 module plays a role in adapting root hair development to phosphate deficiency, potentially enhancing phosphate uptake from soil.

This paper discusses how Bram Stoker's "The Secret of the Growing Gold" reinterprets a Hungarian folktale to reflect British Victorian racial anxieties, linking Teutonic superiority with Hungarian folklore.

In this study, Min pigs were found to have unique characteristics for secondary hair growth compared to Berkshire and Yorkshire pigs, with the Wnt and BMP signaling pathways stimulating follicle stem cell activity and promoting secondary hair growth and gene expression.

In this study, researchers analyzed 24 European Merino sheep populations to investigate genetic adaptations to climate, identifying 168 significant SNPs and related genes associated with temperature variation and environmental adaptation, focusing on traits like isothermality and pathways related to immune response and system development.

This study found that greater root surface area due to root hairs contributed to better growth and zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil.

This study experimentally validated Lockhart's viscoplastic framework for tip growth in Arabidopsis root hairs by demonstrating alignment with observed growth rates and estimating yield turgor pressure and cell wall viscosity, offering a methodology adaptable to other species and conditions.

This study reported that the coat hairs of golden takin, living in harsh environments, have unique structural features compared to cattle, with overcoat hairs having continuous medullated tissue and undercoat hairs being finely crimped, potentially contributing to temperature regulation in cold conditions.

This study found that redheaded individuals had higher levels of vitamin D precursor 25(OH)D3 compared to non-redheaded individuals, suggesting a physiological adaptation to low UVB radiation in Europe.

The KDM1 gene helps Venus flytraps close by managing potassium ions.

This study found that redhaired individuals consistently had higher calcidiol levels compared to non-redhaired subjects, suggesting a physiological adaptation for vitamin D synthesis in low UV-B conditions.

This study found that redhaired individuals exhibit higher calcidiol levels compared to non-redhaired individuals, suggesting a possible evolutionary adaptation for vitamin D photosynthesis in low UV-B environments in Europe.

Scalp advancement is a quick surgery for lowering high hairlines, especially in women with loose scalps.

Caloric restriction improves skin and fur structure but can cause muscle loss and movement issues.

This study reviewed current research on white, brown, and beige adipose tissue, highlighting their roles in metabolism, thermogenesis, tissue repair, and stem cell activity, and identified the study of adiponectins as important for advancing knowledge of metabolic syndrome and tissue regeneration mechanisms.

This review summarizes recent advances in Treg cell biology, focusing on Foxp3's role in immune regulation and therapeutic reprogramming for immune dysregulatory disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This article explores how extrafollicular environments and stem cell configurations influence hair and feather regeneration but provides no new experimental results.

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 case series reports telogen effluvium in three patients following severe Sars-Cov-2 infection and suggests a potential association that merits further investigation.
