In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

This study observed that pelage development in male blue foxes born in early June was more synchronized than those born in early May, with differences likely influenced by melatonin levels.

This study describes the successful management of Andean bear alopecia syndrome in three female bears using oclacitinib, leading to rapid pruritus resolution and fur regrowth without adverse effects.

This study found a high prevalence of parasitic infections in cattle in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh, with mixed infections being more common and highlighting the need for improved management practices.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

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 study found that bovine slick mutations may enhance heat stress responses in mice but do not lead to the expected hair phenotype changes.

This study observed that hair follicle morphology in dairy cows changes during the peripartum period, with fluctuations in hair follicle width and anagen percentage but no overall marked changes in skin morphology parameters.

In this case report, interferon-alpha treatment for a man with hemophilia and hepatitis C was associated with unexpected diffuse hair growth, likely caused by the medication.

This study found that a more liberal intake of restricted amino acids in patients with methylmalonic acidemia resulted in improved growth and fewer illness episodes.

This study found that MEG3-miRNAs are key regulators of the age-dependent crimped wool trait in Tan sheep, likely influencing primary follicle development and degeneration through immune-inflammatory pathways.

In this study, researchers assessed wool quality in sheep and found that the Gentile di Puglia breed, a Merino-derived Italian breed, exhibits finer wool through higher secondary follicle density compared to the non-merinized Sarda breed, suggesting its potential for sustainable wool production.

This study found that gray mongooses have more numerous and well-developed sebaceous glands compared to domestic cats, suggesting they may benefit from enhanced lipid-derived skin protection.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

This study found that an adult female farm-raised blue fox exhibited an abnormal hair growth cycle and seasonal estradiol variation, with a delayed winter coat cycle resulting in spring shedding.

In this study, researchers identified known and novel miRNAs in Liaoning Cashmere goat skin and found differences in miRNA expression linked to cashmere fineness, providing new insights into LCG goat skin biology.

This study found that manipulating maternal cortisol levels during pregnancy altered Merino sheep wool characteristics, increasing fibre length and reducing crimp frequency in the offspring.

This study detected sarcoptic mange in five free-ranging raccoon dogs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with four showing severe skin lesions and potential secondary bacterial infections, suggesting they may act as vectors in disease spread.

This case report describes dizygotic twin sisters with congenital ichthyosis, mental retardation, myopathy, and anemia, who may represent a syndrome distinct from previously recognized disorders like Rud syndrome.

In these studies, researchers found that Peruvian camelids reach mature skin follicle development early, with specific cuticular characteristics useful for distinguishing fleece types, while Bolivian llamas have a mature follicle apparatus present at birth.

This study found widespread losses of g-type lysozyme genes across various mammalian lineages, with both gene copies extensively lost in cetaceans and sirenians, and linked this to hairlessness in these fully aquatic mammals.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with lamellar ichthyosis who showed marked improvement in scaling and skin stiffness after six weeks of treatment with emollient and supportive therapy.

In this study, researchers documented the first instance of alopecia in bats within the Puebla region, specifically affecting two Artibeus jamaicensis and one Choeronycteris mexicana, possibly linked to environmental stress from human activities interfering with their nutrition.

This study observed that increasing dietary vitamin C in capybaras significantly improved their skin, coat, and weight, though other nutrients might also have contributed to their improved condition.

This study found that maternal consumption of a western diet in mice led to toxic milk production, causing inflammation and alopecia in nursing neonates due to Toll-like-receptor activation.

This study found that MENT is 10 times more potent than testosterone in suppressing gonadotropins and contributing to anabolism in monkeys, with a potentially wider therapeutic index for human androgen replacement and male contraception.

This article reviews the role of LMNA gene mutations, particularly in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, but does not report new experimental findings.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

This case report documents a rare presentation of congenital milia en plaque on the scalp of a five-year-old boy, with blaschkoid extension to the nuchal area, highlighting its uncommon location and onset.

This study concluded that exposing anestrous brood mares to a 16-hour photoperiod in early December led to endocrinologically normal estrous cycles starting within two months, enabling earlier breeding and foaling.
