This observational retrospective study conducted at Lahore General Hospital reported that scabies, followed by tinea and acne, were the most common skin diseases, primarily affecting females and prevalent in the summer months among the studied population.

In this study, researchers observed that administering the minimum dose of levothyroxine to a hypothyroid Dalmatian effectively restored normal skin condition and hormonal levels, suggesting levothyroxine's potential effectiveness in managing skin changes caused by hypothyroidism in dogs.

This study found that applications of a shampoo and mousse containing plant extracts improved coat quality in dogs with a chronic keratinisation disorder without affecting skin hydration or hair lipids over the study period.

This study found that DNA methylation may regulate the differential expression of the BMP7 gene in Hu sheep lamb skin of different patterns, and it influences the proliferation and cell cycle of dermal papilla cells, with demethylation treatment increasing BMP7 expression and cell proliferation.

This study reports the discovery of mutations in the PADI3, TGM3, and TCHH genes as molecular genetic causes of uncombable hair syndrome in children, indicating an autosomal-recessive inheritance pattern.

This study examined the complex morphology of the cornified claw sheath in domesticated cats, uncovering structures and growth patterns that help maintain sharp claw tips essential for climbing and prey capture.

In this study, synthetic vitamin D3 analogs stimulated hair growth and formation of normal hair follicles in nude mice, unlike the natural form 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study suggests that androgens enhance growth factor production in dermal fibroblasts, which in turn may alter keratinocyte differentiation and contribute to acne lesion formation.

This study concluded that the Wnt signaling pathway does not significantly influence human keratoacanthoma development, but the overexpression of Sox9 suggests alternate signaling involvement.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study showed that vitamin D receptor gene-deficient rats exhibit hair loss and skin abnormalities due to differences in gene and protein expression patterns, while ligand-independent VDR action is crucial for normal hair cycle maintenance and skin formation.

This study identified genetic mutations linked to congenital ichthyosis in families from the UAE and Turkey, revealing a connection between keratinization disorders and impaired filaggrin processing.

This paper describes a rare case of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a nine-year-old girl, a condition typically more severe in males due to its X-linked inheritance.

This letter to the editor discusses the use of systemic minoxidil for loose anagen hair syndrome, noting a significant change in hair color, but reports no new study results.

This review summarizes the roles of bone morphogenetic proteins in the development and regulation of normal and diseased skin, but it does not provide new clinical results.

This study found that keratin K14 expression occurs early in epidermal cell differentiation, while a hair-specific keratin is expressed later in hair matrix cells, suggesting developmental divergence between the two cell types.

This review summarizes the anatomical and physiological aspects of human hair and its clinical significance, but does not report new research findings.

This study found that skin microbiota, particularly in wild-type mice, promotes wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis and wound healing, highlighting the potential downsides of routine antibiotic use on skin regeneration.

This study found that mouse FLRG protein, a secreted glycoprotein, is expressed in certain tissues and plays a role distinct from follistatin during wound healing, suggesting different functions in vivo.

This study visualized mitochondrial metabolism in cultured bovine hair follicles and plucked human hairs, finding that ROS and mitochondrial polarization correlate in specific hair follicle regions, particularly near keratin deposition sites.

This review explains the mechanical composition and molecular interactions that determine hair's mechanical properties, without providing any new experimental findings.

This study reported that using photomnemonics facilitated accurate histopathologic interpretation of horizontal scalp sections in distinguishing between nonscarring and scarring alopecias by dermatopathologists and residents in a validation test.

Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This article reviews advances in the histologic evaluation of alopecia and hair-related disorders, without presenting new clinical results.

This article discusses the role of clinical observation and microscopic correlation in American dermatology training and reports no new clinical results.

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.

In this study, researchers found that the EDMTFH protein is present in specific layers of the chicken embryo skin and feathers, suggesting its role in feather mechanics and development.

This article highlights causes of otitis externa in small animals and proposes an investigative approach; it reports no new findings.

Scalp tourniquets did not significantly prevent hair loss from chemotherapy.
