This study identified a new subset of Ret-positive sensory neurons involved in itch perception, characterized by their unique expression profile and response to specific itch-inducing molecules.

This study describes a form of lymphocytic mural folliculitis in tigers causing hair loss, concluding it may represent a nonspecific hypersensitivity reaction distinct from T-cell lymphoma.

This case report describes a 65-year-old man's trichofolliculoma, a hair follicle-origin tumor, which appeared as a persistent cheek pore extrusion and was removed at the patient's request.

This anatomical study on Eclipta alba concluded that unique secretory structures in stems and leaves may serve as identifying features of the plant and the Asteraceae family.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

In this case report, a 2-month-old Chippiparai pup in Puducherry, India, successfully received treatment for concurrent scabies and dermatophytosis using ivermectin, a topical acaricide solution, a dewormer, and an herbal immunostimulant, with no signs of toxicity.

This study described two cases of trichoblastomas in the tactile hair skin of aged house musk shrews, highlighting that their histological structure differs from that in humans and other animals.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This study found that ethanol extract of Thevetia peruviana bark demonstrated significant antinociceptive activity in mice, suggesting potential for developing new analgesic drugs.

This report describes the first known pediatric cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition typically affecting postmenopausal women, highlighting its occurrence in children including female twins.

This study found that six sessions of a modified phenol peel effectively reduced hyperpigmentation in patients with Lichen Planus Pigmentosus, with 76% of treated individuals experiencing at least a 25% improvement, and no serious side effects reported.

This case study reports that a 6-year-old girl with pediculosis capitis experienced scalp pruritus, pustules, crusting, excoriation, and cicatricial alopecia but showed a good clinical response to permethrin and antibiotics, with no lice detected afterward.

This article describes a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia in a patient with chronic lichenoid lupus erythematosus and notes the lack of similar documented cases in existing literature.

This study examined the extracts and essential oil from Platycladus orientalis leaves and found that the ethanol extract had the highest antioxidant activity, while the essential oil was more effective as an antibacterial agent, particularly against Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia prevalence varies in gray bats throughout the summer, with higher rates in lactating females, who also exhibit more severe lesions, but found no link between subcutaneous mites and fur loss.

This study found that terbinafine prevented the invasion of keratin by Trichophyton mentagrophytes in experimental models replicating human dermatomycoses.

This study developed a natural hair dye using Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. extract, finding that it produced yellow to dark brown colors depending on the treatment, with ferrous lactate enhancing dye performance and color stability after washing.

This study observed an association between intense itching in anterior chest keloids and an increased density of nerve fibers in the epidermis, alongside elevated expression of the pruritus mediator substance P, though no difference was found in Langerhans cells related to pruritus, location, or region.

The researchers reported that the aqueous extract of Urtica fissa E.Pritz inhibited 5α-reductase activity in vitro.

This study identified genetic differences between Australian White Sheep and Hu Sheep that may explain their distinct pelage types, with a focus on subcutaneous adiposity and immunoregulation. The findings suggest potential targets for breeding climate-resilient sheep, enhancing our understanding of heat tolerance in these breeds.

This study reported that the Pamona indigenous community near Lake Poso, Indonesia, relies on 21 macrofungi species for diverse uses, including food and medicine, helping to address malnutrition and disease prevention.

This case report describes a diagnosis of cutaneous pilus migrans in a 19-month-old girl, highlighting its rarity and distinction from larva migrans, and confirming it through microscopic examination.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This report details two cases of Lichen spinulosus in the submental area, treated effectively and safely with topical tacalcitol cream.

This study found that defective cross-linking in hair cuticles is observable in a minority of mouse hair mutants, suggesting different proteins are involved in cross-linking across cell types.

In this study, researchers found that the methanolic seed extract of Tectona grandis, known for its use in traditional medicine, demonstrated strong analgesic properties in Swiss albino mice, being effective at doses of 200–250 mg/kg and safe up to 1000 mg/kg.

This report describes a rare case of Trichostasis Spinulosa on the heel, an uncommon location for this type of lesion.
