This study describes the stages of hair follicle development and foetal pelage growth in southern elephant seals, highlighting the formation and shedding processes of the first and subsequent hair generations.

This study observed that northern elephant seals with skin disease had elevated pollutants like PCBs in their bodies, suggesting a potential link to the condition's unknown etiology.

This study found that biologic rhythms in mammoth hairs differed from those in modern human hair, with variations in growth rates and mineral content providing insights into the lifestyle and behavior of extinct species.

This study found that in captive mouflon rams, reproductive and physical maturation, marked by changes in hormone levels and physical attributes, progresses gradually across their life span, with sexual maturity tied closely to physical maturity.

This report describes the first diagnosed case of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis in a young maned wolf, emphasizing the importance of monitoring emerging diseases in this vulnerable species.

In this study, captive gray seals exhibited increased resting metabolic rates and elevated thyroid hormone levels during the final stage of molting, with more pronounced changes in juveniles.

This study observed that changes in amino acid levels in milk correlate with developmental events in pouch young marsupials, notably around hair follicle development and homeothermy onset.

This study found that adding zinc to the drinking water improved hair coat and skin condition in moustached marmosets with symptoms resembling zinc deficiency.

Giving melatonin to sheep before the non-breeding season can improve their chances of reproducing in northwest Mexico.

In this case report, researchers document a rare instance of dystocia in a beetal breed goat from Pakistan caused by a fetal monster known as Perosomus Elumbis, highlighting the need for understanding and managing such conditions to ensure successful delivery outcomes.

This study established a predictive model for water intake in hair sheep, finding significant associations with dry matter and its intake but not with sex classes, suggesting a more accurate and efficient way to predict and manage water use in these animals.

This study observed that during the postnatal development of gray short-tailed opossums, skin transitions from facilitating gas exchange through a dense capillary network at birth to supporting thermoregulation, with significant changes in skin thickness and structure occurring by 35 days old.

In this study, researchers identified two significant genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, which may play an important role in heat adaptation, providing insights for conservation and performance improvement in tropical climates.

This study observed that Aloe vera gel applied topically to mange-affected camels led to the rapid disappearance of skin lesions and mites.

In this study, a specific SNP in the A2M gene of Murrah buffaloes was significantly associated with increased fat production and higher fat and protein percentages in milk.

This study discovered two new species of mites in the hair follicles of squirrel monkeys from South America, potentially causing follicle damage due to secondary infection.

This study found that Alaskan moose hair mineral content varied seasonally and by location, with differences in magnesium, copper, and manganese levels linked to winter-killed calves.

This study reported that 39.7% of Amargosa voles had mite-associated lesions, which may severely impact their health and fitness.

This study reported that captive muskoxen in Fairbanks, Alaska have significantly faster and variable guard hair growth rates compared to free-ranging Greenland muskoxen, indicating that a universal hair growth rate cannot be applied across different muskox populations or time periods.

This study reports the draft genome sequence of the endangered Indus River dolphin and suggests potential genetic adaptations to freshwater environments, including specialized skin features and immune adaptations, while also highlighting historical and human-induced factors contributing to its low genetic diversity.

This research analyzed two ancient mammoth hair strands and reported distinct structural and elemental differences, including calcium, iron, and copper deposits, which vary with age and origin.

This study describes the successful treatment of erythema multiforme in a young Central American tapir with a combination of wound care, silver sulfadiazine cream, and oral prednisolone, emphasizing the importance of diagnostic testing for vesicular dermatitis syndromes in tapirs.

This study found that examining the microscopic and ultramicroscopic structures of donkey and horse hair can help differentiate between the species based on distinct differences in hair cuticle and brain substance patterns.

This study found that Malassezia pachydermatis was present on both lesion and healthy skin in a California sea lion, with significantly more colonies on the lesion site.

This study is the first to document significant age-related pathologies in endangered captive Julia Creek dunnarts, highlighting hormonal dysregulation and reproductive issues in females, while males exhibited higher occurrences of cutaneous diseases and testicular degeneration, providing valuable insight for conservation efforts.

This study found that the Hr gene loss and positive selection for the FGF5 gene in cetaceans likely contributed to hair loss as these animals adapted to aquatic environments.

This study found that specific genetic changes in both coding and noncoding regions may have independently driven the evolution of hairlessness in various mammalian species through accelerated evolution.

This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This study concluded that dietary changes alter serum progesterone and estradiol levels in late gestation ewes, likely due to metabolism rather than changes in placental steroid synthesis.

This review discusses current knowledge about the TRPV3 ion channel's role in skin functions and diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for pain and itch, though suitable ligands are limited.
