In this study, a ferret with multiple health issues was diagnosed with a malignant apocrine gland adenocarcinoma on the prepuce, highlighting the aggressive nature of such tumors in this species and suggesting further investigation into cytologic features could provide insights into tumor behavior.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

A woman's scalp infection caused by a fungus led to permanent hair loss and was hard to treat but responded to a specific antifungal.

This study observed that finasteride treatment induced mild improvement in androgenetic alopecia in one male patient while stabilizing the condition in another, but lipedematous scalp remained unchanged.

Phospholipid-coated nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better than others, especially in pig ears.

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.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia had higher long-term remission rates compared to lichen planopilaris, highlighting differences in their clinical presentations and outcomes.

This case report describes an 18-year-old man with pili annulati, characterized by a "shagreened" appearance of the hair shaft with alternate bright and dark bands and wide holes throughout the cortex.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

In this study, researchers conducted whole-genome resequencing of eight sheep breeds to identify additional genes associated with wool fineness, revealing 269 genes in fine wool and 319 in coarse wool breeds that are linked to significant traits and pathways.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This study found that the herbal extract HX109 promoted hair growth in mice by increasing cell viability and enhancing hair regrowth, with the effects increasing as doses rose.

This study found that wavy sinus hairs in cats were significantly associated with feline leukemia virus infection, suggesting this physical trait might be useful for identifying infected cats.

This research outlines the significant morbidity and economic impact of dermatophytosis, a contagious fungal disease affecting skin, hair, and nails, with heightened severity in immune-compromised individuals and poor environmental conditions.

This report describes four cases of monilethrix in children and concludes that periodic inhibition of keratin synthesis, not a metabolic defect, may explain the hair abnormality.

In this study, naked mole-rats demonstrated unique skin and hair follicle innervation features compared to other species, suggesting adaptations to their subterranean environment and poikilothermy.

This case report describes a dermatophytic granuloma caused by Microsporum canis in a heart-lung transplant recipient, emphasizing the need for systemic antifungal treatment in such deep infections.

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

In this experimental study on rabbits, the authors concluded that a pomade containing 10% meniran leaf extract was an effective hair growth stimulant and could compete with a positive control, fulfilling the required pomade characteristics.

This study found that a phosphorus starvation-insensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows altered root growth and auxin responses under low phosphate conditions compared to wild-type plants, suggesting a role for LPR1 in regulating these traits.

The study suggests that immune privilege collapse in bulge cells and the involvement of pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-γ contribute to hair follicle stem cell loss in lichen planopilaris.

This study reports new cellular features and complex interaction systems in fiber differentiation, indicating more intricate cellular organization than previously recognized, including features like mast cells and primary cilia.

This study found that a liposome containing butterfly pea flower extract and clove oil was stable and, when used by 15 volunteers over 60 days, enhanced eyebrow thickness and darkness without causing irritation.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing lichen planopilaris and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize early recognition to potentially prevent permanent scarring.

This article discusses dermatophycosis, a fungal infection affecting various animals, and outlines its transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention methods, but reports no new research findings.

Women with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia often have other health issues like hypothyroidism and lupus.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.
