This study found that the food supplement Haarpower® did not significantly reduce excessive shedding in dogs compared to placebo.

This study found that overexpression of an enzyme in transgenic mice led to distorted polyamine levels, resulting in permanent hair loss and female infertility.

This study observed that supplementing buffalo calves with a mineral mixture alone or combined with Nigella sativa seeds improved skin conditions and hematobiochemical parameters in calves suffering from parakeratosis, which is primarily due to zinc deficiency.

The reinforced collagen sponge helps grow normal hair in mice.

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 case report describes a British toddler diagnosed with Kwashiorkor, highlighting that such malnutrition-related disorders are rare in developed countries due to strong socio-economic support systems.

This study found that the gene BSSP, a serine protease, is predominantly expressed in sebaceous glands and is overexpressed in nude mouse skin.

This case report from the study describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, presenting with alopecia on the neck and ear, illustrating the zoonotic risk of these fungal infections in both animals and humans, particularly in hot and humid climates.

This case report details a rare instance of scurvy linked to anorexia nervosa in a 48-year-old woman, characterized by atypical symptoms and successfully treated with vitamin C supplements.

This study found that a proprietary saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) extract significantly increased hair growth and reduced hair shedding in men and women with self-perceived thinning hair over a 90-day period, compared to placebo, without reported adverse events.

This study describes presumed albendazole toxicosis in alpacas, suggesting that repeated doses as low as 19 mg/kg can lead to severe neutropenia, enteropathy, and potentially death in this species.

This study developed a non-invasive, partially automated protocol for extracting high-quality DNA from hair follicles of marmosets, significantly reducing chimerism rates compared to blood, and proving reliable for whole genome sequencing in low-input DNA scenarios.

This article describes a new subcision technique intended to simplify the procedure for surgeons without reporting clinical results or outcomes.

This study found that specific proteins associated with fiber structure, hair growth, and fatty acid synthesis, including the DSC2 gene, may influence wool and hair characteristics in sheep and goats.

This study demonstrates that the CRISPR-Cas9 system can be used to successfully edit genes in large mammals, such as Cashmere goats, creating a valuable model for research on EDAR gene-related phenotypes.

Microsporum canis breaks down animal hair fastest in sheep and foxes, slowest in humans.

In this study, the authors found that the shoulder guard hair of captive sika deer most accurately reflects dietary information during winter coat growth, useful for analyzing wild deer hair samples.

Anesthetizing walruses is difficult and risky due to their size and sudden health changes.

This study found that fecal zinc concentration can serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis of zinc deficiency in lambs, complementing serum zinc evaluations.

In this mouse study, hair growth defects associated with the Gk5 null allele were partially alleviated by simvastatin treatment, suggesting GK5 plays a key role in skin-specific cholesterol regulation.

In this study, the isotopic fractionation between tissues and diets of captive Japanese macaques was quantified, particularly noting hair's response to diet changes in controlled conditions, but these findings underscore the complexity of reconstructing long-term dietary history.

This study found that MEIS2 expression in neural crest-derived cells is crucial for whisker and trigeminal nerve development in the mesenchyme, indicating an early role in epithelial placode formation and dermal condensation, independent of sensory innervation or Foxd1 expression.

In this study, Australian cashmere goats receiving protein supplements maintained their weight and showed increased fleece growth, though cashmere growth was largely unaffected.

This study analyzed the lipid composition of mouse hair, focusing on sphingolipids, and found significant differences in ceramides, glucosylceramides, and sphingomyelins between hair follicles and hair shafts.

This observational study identified L. infantum infection in meerkats housed in two zoological parks in Madrid, marking the first such report for this species, though the disease persisted in one individual despite treatment.

In this case report, researchers document a rare instance of dystocia in a beetal breed goat from Pakistan caused by a fetal monster known as Perosomus Elumbis, highlighting the need for understanding and managing such conditions to ensure successful delivery outcomes.

A Saudi girl was diagnosed with Loose Anagen Hair Syndrome, a rare condition causing easy hair loss without scarring.
