This study reported species and demographic differences in alopecia rates among macaques, with the highest rates in pigtail macaques and noted age-related improvements in alopecia scores.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This study found that exposure to Prussian Blue caused significant detachment of cuticle segments from the hair shaft in both new and aged human hairs.

This study used X-ray fluorescence to analyze elemental and heavy metal contents in Senegalese powdered milk, finding potential safety concerns with excessive calcium in certain samples and significantly high potassium levels in one, suggesting ongoing monitoring is crucial for consumer safety.

This study describes a double embedding technique for preparing tangential sections of hair and wool fibers, recommending specific staining methods for quantitative analysis and demonstrating wool fiber cortical fractions.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

Tigason improved hair growth in a boy with monilethrix without side effects.

A mixture of Dijon mustard, turmeric powder, and linseed oil can effectively treat alopecia barbae.

This study reported that using photomnemonics facilitated accurate histopathologic interpretation of horizontal scalp sections in distinguishing between nonscarring and scarring alopecias by dermatopathologists and residents in a validation test.

This study found that inherited color dilution in Rex rabbit hair follicles is associated with DNA methylation changes, contributing to understanding the epigenetic regulation of rabbit pigmentation.

This study presents a DNA-analytical method that can reliably identify and differentiate cashmere, fine wool, yak, and camel hair fibers in both untreated and processed samples.

This study reports that CD200R expression is significantly reduced in a mouse model of scarring alopecia, suggesting a potential role for this pathway in immune regulation and hair follicle protection.

In this study, the petroleum ether extract of Maharanga bicolor and Hibiscus rosa sinensis in Aloe vera gel showed improved hair growth initiation and completion times in rats, suggesting potential hair growth-promoting activity.

This study found that different species metabolized minoxidil into various products, with monkeys and humans showing similar profiles primarily excreting a glucuronide conjugate, while rats and dogs showed distinct differences.

In this study, researchers found that cyclophosphamide treatment unexpectedly reduced splenic melanin deposition in a murine model, whereas this effect was down-regulated more by the normal and dystrophic catagen phase of the hair cycle.

In this study, researchers conducting a genome-wide association study on 263 adult female goats identified significant genomic variants linked to coarse hair diameter, particularly emphasizing a crucial region on Chromosome 10. These findings enhance understanding of the genetic factors influencing fiber diameter in goats.

This study found that deferiprone significantly reduced dermal fibrosis and skin thickness in mice with chronic kidney disease treated with Omniscan, suggesting iron's role in gadolinium chelate toxicity and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

This overview describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal's comprehensive focus on dermatologic surgical procedures, but it presents no new research findings.

This study found that hair manganese levels did not vary by acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease severity, but a modest, non-significant correlation with body mass index suggests a potential link between manganese homeostasis and cardiometabolic status that warrants further investigation.

This descriptive study reports that zinc deficiency in two dairy goats likely resulted from hereditary malabsorption, requiring life-long zinc supplementation to prevent skin lesions.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

Women's hair has more sulfur, and black hair has more calcium than white hair.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

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.

Henna orange powder, especially with alkali, protects and colors hair better than oxidizing colorants.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study found that theabrownin-selenium nanoparticles (TB-Se NPs) effectively target Malassezia-induced dermatitis through a dual antifungal and immunomodulatory mechanism, suppressing fungal overgrowth, reducing inflammation, and enhancing immune memory to prevent recurrence in a dermatitis model.

This study found that a specific gene mutation was identified in a family with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% minoxidil liniment improved hair quality in the proband without adverse events.
