This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish scarring from non-scarring alopecia by identifying specific morphological features in hair follicle structures.

In this report, the potential connection between Merkel cell carcinoma and Curvularia lunata infection in an elderly patient is discussed, highlighting the need for precise diagnostic methods and suggesting that surgery combined with the antifungal voriconazole may be a viable treatment option.

In a mouse model study, researchers observed that the absence of MCPIP1 in myeloid cells decreased susceptibility to chemically induced skin papillomas but caused significant hair loss and skin pigmentation changes, suggesting a role for MCPIP1 in skin carcinogenesis and follicle integrity.

This study demonstrated that human hair shafts can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria but have no effect on Gram-negative bacterial growth, offering insights into hair and scalp health.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

This study found that minoxidil inhibited lens epithelial cell migration, proliferation, and collagen secretion in vitro, suggesting it may help prevent postoperative capsular opacification.

In this study, veterinary examinations of 150 domestic canines and felines revealed that M. canis was the predominant dermatophyte, affecting 9 cats and 9 dogs, with dogs showing more severe lesions and higher neutrophil counts in the cytological analysis.

This study found a significant correlation between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the scalp microbiome and female androgenetic alopecia, with notable prevalence differences in specific bacterial groups between affected and non-affected women.

A new hydrogel can kill resistant bacteria and help heal infected burn wounds.

In this study, a cerium-polypeptide hydrogel was found to effectively treat MRSA-infected wounds by promoting faster wound repair and reducing inflammation compared to a standard hydrogel.

This study using a genetic mouse model found that S. aureus-driven dysbiosis sustains inflammatory skin side effects from EGFR inhibitors, suggesting prophylactic antibiotic treatment may reduce rash severity without fixing barrier defects.

In this study, mice lacking the Mcpip1 gene in their myeloid cells did not develop SCC-like tumors but instead showed increased melanocyte activity and hair loss, indicating a distinct role for myeloid Mcpip1 in skin cancer development compared to keratinocyte Mcpip1.

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 found that mupirocin nanoparticle-loaded hydrogel was safe and more effective for healing burn wounds in rats compared to mupirocin ointment, showing promise for future clinical trials.

Sampling methods greatly affect skin microbiome data in acne studies.

This book critiques Dr. Conroy's theory on Morgellon's disease, highlighting a lack of scientific evidence and detailing his unverified claims about fungal organisms attracted to cocaine.

This review discusses feline dermatophytosis and emphasizes the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This article discusses a case of an adult with acneiform follicular mucinosis that was controlled using systemic corticosteroids and reports no new findings.

This case report describes a 4-month-old child with symptoms suggesting multiple carboxylase deficiency, which responded well to biotin therapy, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious health issues in infants with similar unexplained metabolic acidosis and symptoms.

This study reported that a single treatment using macrofocused ultrasound energy with a 2 mm transducer significantly reduced pore count, pore volume, and pore index in 34 Thai subjects with enlarged facial pores over a 6-month period, with no adverse events observed.

This case report details a 77-year-old man initially suspected of having multiple myeloma but ultimately diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinaemia, highlighting the importance of accurate differential diagnosis for conditions like epistaxis and high serum IgM.

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 review discusses the challenges and potential solutions in studying Demodex mites and their possible pathogenic role in human skin disorders but reports no new findings.

This study observed an outbreak of dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton species in farmed mink in the USA, affecting primarily dark-colored kits with skin lesions.

This study investigated the effects of Akkermansia muciniphila on testosterone-induced hair growth inhibition in mice, finding that both live and pasteurized forms significantly encouraged hair growth and increased hair follicle size and growth factor levels compared to testosterone treatment alone.

This study found that excessive consumption of cloves in mice caused toxic changes in the liver, including structural damage and cell death, but concluded these effects are not considered dangerous.

This review discusses the safety and potential adverse events of microneedling as both a medical and consumer product, noting the need for further understanding; no new clinical results are presented.

This study reported a case where a 46-year-old woman developed alopecia without itching or pain on her scalp due to a cutaneous infection from *Mycobacterium abscessus*, which was resolved after three months of antibacterial treatment, resulting in new hair growth.

This study reports that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia have distinct bacterial colonization and higher antibiotic resistance compared to those with non-inflammatory scalp conditions, indicating the importance of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing for targeted therapies.
