Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

This review discusses the functions and potential therapeutic targeting of TRP ion channels in the skin, noting their involvement in both physiological processes and various pathological conditions, but reports no new experimental results.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This summary explains the different types of wrinkles, their causes, and their distinct microanatomical characteristics, noting that each type may respond differently to treatments.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation associated with severe inflammatory symptoms and suggested that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may modify the phenotype in affected individuals.

This study found that obesity is associated with several skin conditions, such as striae and pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which may serve as markers of excessive weight.

In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

This article reviews behavioral dermatology, highlighting the importance of integrating physiological, social, and environmental factors in managing dermatologic conditions with behavioral components, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, cyclosporin effectively controlled cases of granulomatous folliculitis, furunculosis, sebaceous adenitis in cats, and alopecia areata in a dog, positioning it as a promising alternative to glucocorticoids in veterinary dermatology.

This study found that the ablation of Esrp1 and Esrp2 disrupts epithelial tight junctions by affecting Arhgef11 isoform expressions, highlighting a potential mechanistic link between splicing alterations and epithelial barrier defects.

This review discusses the importance of recognizing and treating psychiatric conditions in dermatology patients, offering practical recommendations for dermatologists to manage psychocutaneous diseases effectively, but reports no new clinical results.

This study described the diverse vibrissal follicle anatomy in fetuses of three cetacean species and observed species-specific differences, supporting further investigation into vibrissal form and function across cetaceans.

This review discusses various dermatological scoring systems used to objectively assess disease severity and guide treatment decisions, reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses the developmental plasticity between teeth and taste buds in cichlid fishes and reports no new experimental findings, highlighting potential implications for craniofacial organ patterning and regeneration.

This review discusses the use of zebrafish larvae as an alternative model for studying ototoxicity, facilitating large-scale screening for otoprotective compounds, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that the facial Psoriasis Log-based Area and Severity Index (fPLASI) more reliably and sensitively captured clinical improvement in facial psoriasis than the existing facial Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (fPASI).

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

This report emphasizes that children with dengue fever face a higher risk of severe outcomes, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome, compared to adults, necessitating careful management.

This study reports that a novel gain-of-function mutation in TMEM173, combined with polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1, results in a distinct clinical phenotype with features of SAVI, including alopecia and photosensitivity.

This study found that Fraser's Dolphin, a tight-skinned mammal, can regenerate complex skin architecture with minimal scarring after large full-thickness wounds, even in high-tension environments, offering insights into regenerative healing mechanisms typically obscured by fibrotic responses.

In this report, the sighting of a maned wolf in a rural area of Brazil with severe hair loss, likely due to alopecia, was documented, and it was suspected that the condition resulted from disease transmission from domestic dogs.

This study highlights how examining hair histology under a microscope helps forensic analysts identify animal species by distinguishing specific microscopic features, which supports accurate reference database creation and aids crime scene investigations.

Stronger regulations and protections are needed for digital platforms to ensure safety and fairness in health, education, and labor.

In this study, researchers found that female rats exhibited more pronounced panic-related escape behavior during hypoxia, particularly in the diestrus phase, and that low-dose fluoxetine reduced this behavior, suggesting its potential for managing panic disorder symptoms related to hormonal cycles in women.

This study found that sarcoptic mange significantly decreased vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina, likely originating from mange-infected llama introduced nearby, raising the risk of local extinction.

This study found that overexpression of the SbbHLH85 gene in sweet sorghum increases root hair growth and Na+ absorption, but negatively affects salt tolerance.

This review discusses the potential benefits of folate supplementation to mitigate methotrexate side effects in psoriasis patients and reports no new clinical data, suggesting further randomized controlled trials are needed.
