The trial is ongoing, but researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of REZPEG, a potential new therapy for severe alopecia areata, which selectively expands regulatory T cells.

This study found elevated levels of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in the fur of juvenile Australian fur seals with alopecia, suggesting a possible link to the syndrome and underscoring fur's utility for monitoring exposure.

This study observed that while PrEP was effective among transgender women if taken, adherence was low, especially among those at higher risk.

This study found that high-resolution tusk isotope profiles from an African elephant can serve as a proxy for the seasonality of diet and precipitation, helping to reconstruct vegetation and climate in modern and fossil ecosystems.

This study examined the current clinical practices for diagnosing and managing alopecia areata in Poland, finding that patient care is inadequate and falls short in using validated severity tools and providing access to advanced therapies despite the availability of new medications like Janus kinase inhibitors.

Allergies, especially both seasonal and food, increase the risk of developing alopecia areata.

In this study, seasonal hair loss was most pronounced in low-ranking male vervet monkeys, and changes in scrotal color and hyperpigmentation also correlated with hair loss, but underlying causes were not identified.

This study observed that mixed breed cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility had significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and magnesium, alongside signs of anemia.

This study reported that in the California Ground Squirrel, certain elements bioaccumulate in hair, providing baseline data for environmental health assessments.

This study established a predictive model for water intake in hair sheep, finding significant associations with dry matter and its intake but not with sex classes, suggesting a more accurate and efficient way to predict and manage water use in these animals.

This study found that both oral afoxolaner (NexGard®) and topical Frontline Combo® achieved 100% efficacy in eradicating Heterodoxus spiniger infestations within 30 days in dogs, with significant reductions in associated symptoms like hair loss and pruritus.

This study found that urinary and serum selenium levels were the most sensitive biomarkers for selenium intake in adult dogs, with serum GPx responding more quickly than whole blood GPx.

This study found that injecting various hormones or hormone-cholesterol mixtures into Willow Ptarmigan and White-tailed Ptarmigan led to the growth of pigmented feathers instead of the usual white winter feathers, suggesting hormonal influence on plumage color changes.

This study found that Notoedres cati infests about 5.5% of domestic cats in Hyderabad and suggests that Selamectin provides faster recovery than an Aloe vera and virgin coconut oil formulation, although both treatments are effective.

This study found that LepRb neurons in the brain are important targets for androgen action and influence sex-specific differences in reproductive and metabolic regulation, implicating them in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review summarizes the use of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite analysis to monitor stress across various bear species and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that estrogens activate and androgens inhibit brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the VMH, affecting energy balance and suggesting targets for treating cachexia and obesity.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study found that in patients with severe alopecia areata, those who responded early to baricitinib treatment typically had a lower baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool score, shorter disease duration, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate, suggesting these factors may predict therapeutic success.

This study reports that C3H/HeJ mice and DEBR rats serve as effective models for screening potential treatments for human alopecia areata, despite certain challenges in predictability and cost.

This abstract does not report results but indicates that the supplementary material includes comprehensive methodology, additional results, statistical analyses, discussion, and limitations of the Alopecia Areata Relapse Study Group's findings as presented in the main manuscript.

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 study found that 9.29% of rabbits at a Kuala Lumpur farm were infected with scabies, with the majority exhibiting mild crusting severity.

This study observed that alopecia in rhesus macaques follows a seasonal pattern, with the highest hair loss in spring, and varies with reproductive state, as pregnant females experience the most significant alopecia and lowest hair regrowth, which resumes postpartum.

This study found that a significant number of boreal woodland caribou in NE British Columbia showed symptoms of trace mineral deficiencies and exposure to various pathogens, with substantial winter tick infestations affecting a majority of individuals.

This research emphasizes the importance of integrating pre-treatment psychological assessments for individuals considering finasteride, highlighting that these assessments could help identify those prone to nocebo responses, potentially reducing adverse symptom development more related to cognitive vulnerabilities than to the drug itself.

In this study, the nutritional intake of the China International Search and Rescue Team during the Pakistan floods was inadequate, with significant deficiencies in protein, energy, fats, and minerals like calcium and vitamins, leading to a high rate of malnutrition and health problems.

This study developed and tested two methods to accurately quantify hair growth rates in polar, black, and grizzly bears using dye application and isotopically labelled amino acids, revealing growth rate variations by individual and season.

This study observed that areas with low socio-demographic index showed the greatest rise in the disease burden of alopecia areata from 1990 to 2019, while high SDI areas still carried the highest burden overall.

This study suggests that the shoulder guard hair of captive sika deer is effective for hair analysis, providing insights into growth patterns and isotopic changes that could aid future research on wild deer using hair samples.
