This study found that IL-17 expression was significantly higher in perifollicular fibrosis of active Lichen planopilaris lesions, suggesting that targeting IL-17 could impact the disease's progression.

This article reports a rare case of a postmenopausal woman with coexisting lichen planus pigmentosus and classic lichen planopilaris, alongside a review of related literature.

In this study, exotic lice were found to be widespread among mule deer in California, with younger age classes and low blood selenium concentrations being significantly associated with infestation.

This study reports a case of ringworm in a Chinchilla lanigera, attributed to stress and contact with canine material contaminated with Microsporum canis.

This case report describes a successful treatment of scalp hair white piedra caused by T. ovoides with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole, using a combination of clinical, trichoscopic, microbiologic, and molecular methods for diagnosis.

This report highlights the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing tinea capitis in a 17-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus, revealing specific trichoscopic features like corkscrew hairs, which confirmed a fungal infection leading to successful treatment with terbinafine.

In this study of tinea capitis in Benghazi, Libya, the most common form identified was the gray patch type, with Trichophyton violaceum being the predominant causative agent.

This case report describes a 59-year-old Afro-American woman diagnosed with lipedematous alopecia, a rare scalp condition of unknown cause.

This study identified over 40 phytochemical compounds in the leaves and flowers of Bituminaria bituminosa, predominantly glycosylated flavonoids from apigenin, using advanced chromatographic techniques.

This study found that ribbed hairs on tarantulas closely resemble chemoreceptors rather than silk-producing spigots, with no silk observed emitting from them under microscopy.

This review discusses the biologically active compounds in Maxillariinae orchids, highlighting 62 semiochemicals with medical potential, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that the floral secretions of Brasiliorchis schunkeana may attract Diptera as potential pollinators, but field observations are needed to confirm this pollination syndrome.

In this study, a female dog with ectoparasite infestation was treated for two weeks using wormectin, diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine maleate, dexamethasone, and amoxicillin, resulting in improved symptoms such as reduced itching, closure of skin ulcers, and hair regrowth.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

In this study, researchers concluded that Langerhans' cells are likely uninvolved in depigmentation during vitiligo in C57Bl/Ler-vit vit mice, as their numbers were normal during depigmentation and increased afterward.

This study on Antirrhinum trichomes found that stickiness in A. hispanicum is due to a recessive allele and mapped it to a specific region on Chromosome 1, while baldness in A. siculum likely involves a novel hairy allele.

In a guinea pig model of dermatophytosis, this study found that subcutaneous CD101, dosed once weekly, demonstrated significant clinical and mycological efficacy compared to the vehicle control and the oral antifungal terbinafine, suggesting potential for CD101 in treating fungal skin infections.

This article reviews the characteristics and treatment options for various dermatophyte infections, highlighting that systemic treatment is essential for tinea capitis while topical treatments are generally effective for other types.

In this study, feeding Gymnocypris eckloni with Flammulina velutipes residues enhanced foregut morphology and beneficially altered gut microbiota, highlighting potential improvements in intestinal health for aquaculture use.

This study found that the ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions of Eclipta prostrata Linn. exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity in a carrageenan-induced paw edema model and showed notable anti-arthritic potential in a formaldehyde-induced arthritis model.

This report describes a unique case of linear lichen planus pigmentosus on the face with histological features of lichen planopilaris, which has not been documented before.

This study found that careful light microscopy using fluid-mounted hair improves detection of the pili annulati phenotype, which varies widely in expression and affects hair fragility.

This study reports that Lichen planus pigmentosus is present in Moroccan patients but remains challenging to treat, with only some experiencing complete resolution of lesions after therapy.

This case report describes an 18-year-old male with kerion celsi from Trichophyton tonsurans infection whose condition improved with terbinafine treatment, and highlights that although IL-17A expression increased in skin lesions, it was associated with disrupted antimicrobial peptide expression and severe inflammation, causing tissue damage.

This article discusses two cases of the rare combination of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichenoid pigmentation in women, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in Lichen Planopilaris, the Microbacteriaceae family was negatively correlated with IL-23 expression, suggesting a role in the disease's inflammation and microbiota composition.

This study found that wire brush hair snares collected the most hair from Eurasian Lynx in controlled enclosures, suggesting potential for sampling genetic material from similar felid species.

This study reviewed 41 cases of lichen planus pigmentosus in patients from southeastern Tunisia, highlighting its prevalence among older individuals and notable differences compared to patterns observed in an Indian cohort.

This study found that melatonin upregulates LncRNA16913.1, which sequesters chi-miR-195-5p to release FZD6 and enhance fibroblast proliferation in cashmere goat skin, suggesting a regulatory mechanism within the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA cascade in vitro.

In this study, ginger peel polysaccharides modified with zinc reduced inflammation in zebrafish by altering cytokine expression, suggesting potential for treating chronic inflammation-related diseases.
