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 provides evidence that root hairs significantly enhance phosphorus uptake in barley when phosphorus availability is limited in the root zone.

This review discusses Amphiregulin (AREG) as a potential target for treating fibrotic disorders and cancer, highlighting its role in disease progression and promising results in preclinical studies and early trials.

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 review highlights the potential of amphiregulin as a therapeutic target, noting its role in both fibrotic and malignant diseases, and discusses promising early findings but reports no new clinical results.

This review outlines the various adverse reactions to biologic therapies in Allergy/Immunology, emphasizing the clinical and management challenges due to overlapping reaction phenotypes and the need for more refined diagnostic and management strategies.

This study observed that scalp melanomas had worse outcomes than non-scalp head and neck melanomas, with a higher risk of recurrence and melanoma-specific death.

In this observational study, among 135 Italian outpatients with alopecia areata, OCD symptoms were prevalent in 18.5%, and emotional distress was found in 20.7%, with emotional distress mediating the relationship between illness perceptions and OCD symptomatology.

This study reported that horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction had improved coat condition, advanced shedding, and better quality of life when treated with blue light masks.

Alopecia treatments like 5α-reductase inhibitors and spironolactone are safe for breast cancer patients and high-risk women.

This study found that nanoparticles containing minoxidil and betamethasone improved drug delivery to hair follicles, with lipidic nanoparticles significantly enhancing minoxidil and betamethasone penetration compared to control, making them a promising option for alopecia areata treatment with reduced side effects.

This study found that chemically induced skin tumors in mice predominantly originated from Lgr6 + and/or Lrig1 + stem cells of the upper hair follicle rather than from other stem cell populations.

This review discusses the diverse cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis for effective management, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the cutaneous side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies for skin cancers, noting that while generally mild, these effects can influence treatment decisions and quality of life, underscoring the need for physicians to be aware of these adverse reactions.

This study found that scalp melanoma often occurs in areas with androgenetic alopecia, and patients without alopecia might experience a later diagnosis due to hair coverage, leading to potentially worse outcomes.

This study identified a crucial role for epidermal Pgc-1α in regulating NAD+ signaling and influencing skin repair, with its dysfunction contributing to age-related wound healing defects.

This study found that Mueller Matrix microscopy can accurately identify, detect, and evaluate hair follicles in mouse skin tissue, suggesting its potential for skin structure research and dermatological applications.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

This study describes a staining technique that differentiates medullary from cortical keratin in sheep and goat hair using Ziehl-Neelsen's carbol-fuchsin in skin biopsy sections.

This study found that the cross-section trichometer is a promising tool for measuring hair mass index with high reproducibility, suggesting potential clinical and research applications.

This study describes new devices, "HairMeasure" and "Scalp Zone Identifier," which offer an economical method to calculate Hair Mass Index without disposable materials.

The document concludes that using a phototrichogram with a protractor and tapeline is a reliable and noninvasive way to measure hair loss.

This study developed a faster method for analyzing fatty acid ethyl esters in hair to help detect alcohol consumption levels, showing potential for applications in forensic and clinical settings.

New method measures minoxidil concentration faster, more accurately, and automatically.

This study developed a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method for determining minoxidil in Rogaine and generic products, offering a simple and efficient alternative to HPLC.
