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.

In this study, a dog diagnosed with both ehrlichiosis and demodicosis showed significant clinical improvement after receiving a treatment regimen of doxycycline, ivermectin, diphenhydramine, vitamin B complex, and sulfur soap baths, noticeable by the 14th and 28th days of therapy.

This study reports the first identification of the deleterious NIPAL 4 variant, associated with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, in an American Bully and describes its clinical management and follow-up.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

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 found that CD90+ stem cells with fibroblast-like morphology are present in the lower part of the anagen hair follicle in dogs.

This study observed that microneedling induced significant hair regrowth and reduced hyperpigmentation in two Pomeranians with alopecia X, with stable results over 12 months.

This case report describes a 10-year-old terrier with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism successfully treated with mitotane.

Topical minoxidil is dangerous for cats and dogs.

This chapter reviews a case of colour dilution alopecia in a Dobermann, offering insights into the clinical progression, differential diagnoses, and treatment options but reports no new findings.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

Finasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in male dogs without affecting testosterone levels, suggesting it could be used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in dogs weighing 10 to 50 kilograms.

This study found that keratin 15 expression is downregulated in hyperproliferative conditions like psoriasis and hypertrophic scars, suggesting it is not compatible with keratinocyte activation.

This study found that the K19 promoter is active in certain gastrointestinal cancer cells and its activity is influenced by the interaction between GKLF and Sp1 transcription factors.

This study found that keratin 19, unlike keratin 14, forms less stable filaments with keratin 5, suggesting distinct assembly properties and potential unique roles in skin basal cells.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

A missing mK6irs1 gene causes hair loss in mice.

This study suggests that Keratin 15 expression in stratified epithelia may be regulated by two distinct mechanisms involving PKC/AP-1 pathway for differentiation and FOXM1 for basal cells, challenging its reliability as a sole stem cell marker.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This review discusses the evolution and revision of keratin protein nomenclature in light of genomic discoveries, reporting no new experimental results; the authors propose a new naming system for future keratin publications.

This study found that cubosomes combined with dissolving microneedles enhanced transdermal penetration and hair growth efficacy of beta-sitosterol for treating alopecia.

This review discusses the patterns and regulatory mechanisms of keratin expression in various biological conditions and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers observed that using a combination of medications, including Bravecto, Cefuroxime, Orungal, Apoquel, and Derinat, effectively treated pododermatitis in dogs, increasing therapy success from 28.6% to 66.7%, and reducing treatment duration while extending remission periods.

In this study on dogs with yeast imbalances and dermatological signs, a protocol using chlorhexidine and Ophytrium products significantly reduced Malassezia pachydermatis counts and improved pruritus and irritation scores over 21 days, earning positive assessments from veterinarians and owners in most cases.

This study mapped gene expression in different skin structures of dogs, finding similarities to humans that support using dogs as models for human skin diseases.

This study suggests that dermoscopy provides additional insights for diagnosing pattern alopecia in short coated dogs, beyond what is visible through standard dermatological examination.

This article explores the possibility that veterinarians may test positive for ketamine due to occupational exposure, but it reports no specific new findings.

This case report describes a three-month-old male Labrador pup with dermatophytosis, diagnosed through clinical signs and a Woods lamp test, which successfully recovered from the infection with a four-week treatment regimen involving topical and oral therapies.

In this study, veterinary examinations of 150 domestic canines and felines revealed that M. canis was the predominant dermatophyte, affecting 9 cats and 9 dogs, with dogs showing more severe lesions and higher neutrophil counts in the cytological analysis.
