This study identified a new mouse mutation associated with noninflammatory proliferative skin disease and hair abnormalities, drawing parallels to human conditions like Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

In this study, researchers observed that rhino mice exhibit significant ductal hyperkeratinization in the meibomian gland, which may represent the first naturally occurring disorder of this gland in mice.

This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil improved hair growth in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia, possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This study describes the characteristics and potential research applications of the first hairless guinea pigs in Iran, noting their suitability for allergy, dermal, transplantation, and immunology studies.

This study successfully constructed a skin cDNA library from the Liaoning cashmere goat during follicle anagen and identified two genes with significant expression in heart, skin, and hair follicles.

This study suggests that Myelin Protein Zero-like 3 plays a crucial role in hair follicle cycling by regulating anagen and catagen phases, mediated through mitochondrial signaling mechanisms in both human and murine hair follicles.

This study found that supplementing Liaoning cashmere goats with HMBi increased cashmere length while decreasing its diameter, attributed to changes in Met-related metabolites and elevated expression of genes related to the Met cycle and cell differentiation pathways such as Wnt and MAPK.

This study found that the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale has acceptable internal consistency and divergent validity for assessing Trichotillomania severity, but demonstrated inadequate test-retest reliability and mixed convergent validity.

In this study, AMP-303 injections demonstrated a trend toward increasing non-vellus hair count in men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia, notably showing a 14.5% peak increase at 60 days compared to saline, with effects lasting up to five months.

This study demonstrated immunological cross-reactivity between mycobacterial heat-shock protein 65 and human epidermal cytokeratin 1/2, suggesting that this cross-reactive epitope might play a role in skin diseases.

In this case report, veterinarians observed a 16-year-old mare with symptoms including chronic weight loss, pruritus, muscle atrophy, and lameness, which gradually progressed to neurological issues despite initial treatment.

This study found that anagen stage protein homogenates and specific epitopes from melanogenesis proteins activated CD8 T cells, suggesting alopecia areata is an anagen-specific disease.

This study reports that a new mouse model with a CARD14 mutation successfully mimics key human PRP symptoms, and anti-IL-17A antibody significantly reduces these symptoms.

Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.

In laboratory tests and mouse models, this study found that the novel IPC analog SIG-1451 may offer potent anti-inflammatory effects for treating allergic skin inflammation, potentially outperforming some current therapies in specific inflammatory phases.

This study found that lncRNA-599554 contributes to the inductive ability of dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats by sponging miR-15a-5p, promoting Wnt3a expression, and potentially influencing hair follicle regeneration.

This review examines current knowledge on human epithelial hair follicle stem cells, their markers, and outlines challenges in translating findings from murine studies to human research, but does not report new experimental results.

In this study on male rats, parachlorophenylalanine treatment induced hypersexual behavior and hair loss linked to increased social interaction but had no effect on brain serotonin when testosterone was used instead.

This study identified a novel gene, hacl-1, that is specifically expressed in the hair follicles of ICR mouse skin and is associated with their active state.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This study found that m6A-circHECA enhances the differentiation of stem cells into hair follicle lineages in cashmere goats by sequestering miR-449a-5p, boosting LEF1 gene expression, and activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study found that DHHC13 is crucial for hair anchoring and skin barrier function, with its deficiency in Zdhhc13(skc4) mice leading to cyclic alopecia and skin abnormalities due to cornifelin deficiencies.

This study reported that horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction had improved coat condition, advanced shedding, and better quality of life when treated with blue light masks.

In a mouse model study, researchers developed a methacrylated hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel microneedle patch co-loaded with finasteride and a carbon monoxide-releasing molecule for androgenetic alopecia, which showed better hair regrowth and safety compared to traditional treatments, offering an innovative approach with minimized systemic side effects.

This article discusses the rapid advancements in hair restoration surgery presented at ISHRS Annual Meetings and underscores the difficulty of staying updated without attending, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study developed a multifunctional hydrogel, QTMP-Gel, which significantly accelerated wound healing in an oral mucositis hamster model by providing antioxidant and antibacterial effects, reducing inflammation, and controlling infection.

This article is a statement from Robert Niedbalski, president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery for 2018, and contains no new research findings.
