May 2024 in “Journal of Dermatological Science” In this study, KC-AD-MSCs were found to increase COL7 deposition and anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction in a RDEB mouse model, suggesting potential for improving skin integrity in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients.
February 2026 in “Veterinary Dermatology” This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.
December 2020 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” In this study, 25% of CCHCR1-deficient mice exposed to stress developed hair loss similar to human alopecia areata, suggesting CCHCR1 is a susceptibility gene for the disease.
October 2019 in “Skin appendage disorders” This study revisits and reproduces Felix Pinkus' concept of the vitreous membrane in hair follicles, suggesting these structures may play a role in differentiation or nutrition due to their location in metabolically dynamic regions.
April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study reported that gain-of-function mutations in TRPV3 lead to hair loss in mice by disrupting inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation, ultimately causing follicular keratinocyte stem cell exhaustion and permanent follicle disruption.
This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.
