This study reported allergic dermatitis in Brazilian donkeys linked to Culicoides insect bites, characterized by severe itching and skin lesions. The potential treatment with copaiba oil and multivitamin emulsion was explored, revealing its promise for managing this condition.

In this review, the authors describe how glucose metabolism supports various stages of wound healing by providing energy and necessary substances, noting that abnormal glucose metabolism in chronic wounds increases oxidative stress and inflammation, significantly hindering healing.

This review highlights the potential of self-powered nanogenerators in revolutionizing biomedical devices by using biomechanical or environmental energy, focusing on applications like regenerative hair growth, drug release patches, and electronic skin while evaluating challenges such as energy efficiency and biocompatibility.

This commentary discusses how recent shifts in prostate cancer screening and management may render 5-alpha reductase inhibitors irrelevant for chemoprevention, despite evidence of their long-term safety and effectiveness in preventing low-grade prostate cancer.

In this study, prenatal androgen exposure was linked to altered sexual behaviors in both male and female mice, with specific effects on mounting and lordosis behaviors.

This article discusses the approval and perceived potential of Provenge, a new prostate cancer vaccine, highlighting its capability to extend survival in certain patients while also noting ongoing debates about its cost and mechanisms; it reports no new clinical results.

This article lists the clinically important interactions and skin reactions of several drugs and substances, including THA, FK506, tamoxifen, tamsulosin, tartrazine, tea tree oil, temazepam, and temozolomide, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that brindled mottled mice, a model of Kinky hair syndrome, exhibited abnormal development of catecholamine neurons, with increased TH-immunoreactive neurons and altered neurochemical profiles compared to controls.

A girl's severely tangled hair couldn't be fixed and had to be cut due to a rare condition called plica neuropathica.

This case study detailed a rare instance of Penile Thread Tourniquet Syndrome in a 10-year-old boy, where a thread caused localized infection and edema without urethral damage, ultimately resulting in a favorable outcome through surgical and conservative management.

This case report documents a rare association between atopic eczema and pili annulati in two siblings from north India, an unusual finding not previously reported in the literature.

Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.

Twisting hair weakens it, but strength can be recovered at low twist levels.

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

This study utilized the DNP–SANS technique on human hair for the first time and found significant changes in the SANS profile dependent on polarization conditions, providing insights into the structural composition and dynamic properties of keratin and its associated proteins.

This study found that type II keratins in proliferating epithelial tissues are phosphorylated at a conserved motif during mitosis and stress, impacting keratin solubilization and reorganization.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This study suggests that varying intersheet interactions may explain the differences between the two polymorphic forms of macrofibril assembly in Merino wool and hair.

This study identified a new pathogenic variant, c.1081G>T; p.(Glu361*), in the KRT31 gene as a cause of autosomal-dominant monilethrix, highlighting the role of hair keratin proteins in hair and nail tissue disorders.

This case report describes successful treatment of an 11-week-old infant with hair thread tourniquet syndrome causing toe swelling, highlighting the condition's rarity and the critical need for prompt surgical intervention.

This report presents a case of pili torti in a young girl with citrullinemia, a novel association not previously documented.

In this study, rabbit esophageal epithelial cells were found to produce K4 and K13 keratins in suprabasal cells, forming disulfide-crosslinked dimers that may support the physical stability of the esophageal lining.

This study found that the structural and chemical composition of human curly hair may resemble that of sheep wool, implying a shared characteristic among mammals with wavy hair.

This report discusses a case of ichthyosis serpentina, suggesting it as a variant of ichthyosis associated with bamboo hair, although atopy may not be a necessary component.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.

This study found that abnormal liver and kidney copper metabolism in Br females had no clinical effects, whereas defective brain copper metabolism in Br males was clinically significant.

This study reports two cases where pili anulati, typically a non-fragile hair condition, showed increased fragility due to androgenetic alopecia, causing hair shaft fracturing in the affected area.
