This study reports a rare case of tinea capitis in an adult female, where Malassezia species may facilitate Microsporum canis growth, and successful treatment with oral antifungals led to rash resolution and hair regrowth.

This study found that testosterone and its metabolite DHT reduced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of bacteria like MRSA and P. aeruginosa in vitro, and blocking testosterone's conversion to DHT improved bacterial clearance, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for combating wound infections in the elderly.

In this study, the authors observed that cell-mediated immune mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of benign follicular mucinosis, based on the cellular and immunological characteristics of two patient cases.

In this case report, a woman's Majocchi's granuloma, linked to her pet guinea pig infected with Trichophyton mentagrophytes, improved significantly with a combination of terbinafine and ketoconazole cream.

Hair follicles in the nose may need better cleaning to prevent Staphylococcus aureus infections.

This study reports that using ascorbic acid or orlistat can significantly inhibit the metabolism of testosterone esters into malodorous metabolites by axillary bacteria, suggesting potential new deodorant applications.

Seminal bacteria can lower sperm quality in subfertile men.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding Merkel cell carcinoma biology, including the development of genetically-engineered mouse models and potential therapeutic targets, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that mice with a whole-body deficiency of Cystathionine-β-synthase developed severe hyperhomocysteinemia and related mild symptoms without increased mortality, indicating HHCy may not directly cause end organ damage.

This study found that microbotox, especially when injected intradermally, effectively reduces enlarged facial pores with higher patient satisfaction and longer-lasting results compared to its topical application after microneedling.

This study reports two HIV-infected men with a rare M. canis infection unresponsive to ketoconazole and terbinafine, where itraconazole was effective but prolonged treatment led to only one cure.

This article reviews the impact of natural fungal pathogens on laboratory animal research and reports no new results, calling attention to infection risks with dermatophytes, Candida, and pneumonia in immunocompromised rodents.

This study found that in mice, Bacillus anthracis infections destroy hair follicles by progressing inward from the surface and clear when inflammatory cells disperse the bacteria after 3-4 days.

This study found that CMV infection in a mouse model of allogeneic transplantation was associated with increased allo-reactive T cell expansion and exacerbated graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for effective GvHD prophylaxis and treatment.

In this study, the Selenium-Chitosan-Mupirocin nanohybrid system significantly enhanced wound healing in a rat model of diabetic wound infection compared to the control, suggesting potential for treating mild diabetic wounds.

Certain bacteria may influence alopecia areata risk, but skin bacteria don't mediate gut-skin effects.

In this study, mozuku-derived ultra-high-molecular-weight fucoidan was found to inhibit the growth of skin bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus but not other tested bacteria such as Cutibacterium acnes.

In this study, researchers found that an antibacterial toner can penetrate keratin and sebum plugs and exhibits bactericidal effects against Cutibacterium acnes, as evidenced by a decrease in viable cell counts within artificial plugs inoculated with the bacteria.

This review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to furunculosis, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and microbiological testing to prevent and manage recurrent infections, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the expression of LRIG1 in Merkel cell carcinoma tumors was associated with improved overall and cancer-specific survival.

This review discusses the composition and role of the hair follicle microbiome in health and disease, highlighting that our understanding remains limited and stressing the need for more comprehensive studies.

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 discovered that androgenetic alopecia disrupts the scalp microbiome balance across the whole scalp, not just areas with hair loss, and introduced a microbial index for early detection and severity prediction.

This study found that the subtilisin protease Sub3 from Microsporum canis is essential for adherence to the feline epidermis but is not necessary for invading epidermal structures.

The gut microbiome affects the development of alopecia areata.

This study observed that the cutaneous microbiome in psoriasis patients differs both qualitatively and quantitatively from healthy individuals, suggesting a potential link to psoriasis pathogenesis.

This report describes the successful treatment of multiple extrapulmonary disorders from Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in a foal, emphasizing the importance of thorough diagnosis and targeted treatment.

This study proposes a quick and sensitive method for detecting vancomycin using modified silver nanoparticles and shows promising results against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

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.

In this review, researchers examined the link between microorganisms and vitiligo, highlighting how microbes might impact the disease's development and suggesting avenues for better treatment strategies based on these interactions.
