In this study, researchers evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of topical products on infected kitten hair, finding most were effective after one application, with enilconazole and lime sulfur showing residual activity; however, 0.15% ketoconazole with chlorhexidine had no such lasting effect.

This review examines the genetic factors influencing coat color in horses and donkeys, highlighting key genes like MC1R, TYR, MITF, ASIP, and KIT, and discusses implications for selective breeding and the relationship between coat color and specific equine diseases.

This research identified two genetic variants that influence the white-spotted coat patterns in Holstein-Friesian cattle, involving regulatory changes in the MITF and KIT genes, confirmed through mouse models, along with possible effects on coat patterns in other cattle breeds.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This study found that cells isolated from human scalp hair follicles proliferated well in a specific culture medium and possessed keratins characteristic of hair-forming cells.

Three related Persian cats have a rare, likely hereditary skin condition causing hair loss and poor coat quality, with limited treatment options.

This review discusses the infection dermatophytosis in cats and reports no new results; it emphasizes the difficulty of eradicating the disease in shelters and catteries.

In this study, proliferative and necrotizing feline otitis externa in four domestic shorthair cats improved with topical 0.1% tacrolimus treatment, despite previous ineffective therapies.

Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.

This study found that basal cell carcinoma cells differentiate along hair follicle lineages and may be influenced by hair follicle cycle modulators for potential therapeutic targeting.

The study reported that topical 0.1% tacrolimus improved proliferative and necrotizing otitis externa in cats, with complete lesion resolution in some cases.

This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

In this animal study, finasteride was found to significantly lower cortisol and increase testosterone levels in female rats, indicating its broader impact on endocrine regulation by altering adrenal and gonadal hormones.

New treatments and drugs show promise for improving skin pigmentation and regeneration.

This study evaluated an AI-driven system for personalizing non-medicated hair loss treatments in women, showing significant improvements in hair growth, shedding, texture, and scalp health over 24 weeks, with no adverse effects reported.

In this case series, two cats with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism achieved clinical remission and normal thyroid function following timely diagnosis and targeted treatment with levothyroxine and methimazole, respectively.

This article discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for skin rejuvenation and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, latanoprost was found to stimulate VEGF protein synthesis in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting it may contribute to promoting hair growth.

This study developed and validated a method for extracting cortisol from human and animal hair, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for assessing chronic stress exposure.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

This study found a rare germline mutation in the Birt–Hogg–Dubé gene in a Japanese patient with renal cell carcinoma, suggesting distinct biological features and challenging current renal tumor classifications.

This article discusses the challenges and lack of progress in improving burn care outcomes for patients aged 65 and older, highlighting the urgent need for tailored treatment protocols and better understanding of their long-term care needs.

This study found that IGF-I and survivin may play a role in the pathogenesis of active acne vulgaris and postinflammatory acne scars, with a significant correlation between their serum levels.

This review discusses recent developments in targeted melanoma therapies, including BRAF/MEK/ERK pathway inhibitors and challenges like resistance and skin toxicities, but reports no new clinical results.

This review covers the variability in methods for preparing platelet-rich plasma and reports no new clinical results, suggesting that this variability may contribute to inconsistent efficacy in clinical trials.

In this study, PGD2 was shown to increase testosterone production in human keratinocytes through reactive oxygen species, suggesting potential benefits of antioxidants like N-acetyl-cysteine for AGA patients.

In this study using C57BL/6N mice, the researchers found that skin thickness, mast cell counts, and immunoreactive density of certain cytokines increased at various stages of hair follicle growth following depilation.

This case report describes the first known instance of hair and eyebrow hyperpigmentation in a patient after seven months of gefitinib treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

This study found that 88.89% of examined domestic and stray cats in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh, were infested with arthropods, notably Ctenocephalides felis felis, with higher prevalence in females and in summer for certain infections.

This study found that higher hair cortisol concentrations, indicating chronic stress, were associated with an increased risk of aneurysmal rupture in patients with intracranial aneurysms.
