This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This study observed that testosterone concentrations in hair segments show some stability over time, but are influenced by factors like sebum integration, hair washing frequency, and individual hair growth rates.

This study found that hair testosterone concentrations show some consistency over time, but factors like hair washing and individual growth rates influence these levels, suggesting the need for careful sampling and analysis adjustments.

This study observed that congenital hypotrichosis in crossbred cattle is linked to short, curly, dilute-color hair, potentially due to color dilution mutants in European breeds.

This study reported that a mixture of Elaeis guineensis kernel oil, essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum, and sap of Jatropha multifida showed better wound healing properties in Girolando cattle with dermatophilosis compared to other treatments.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

This study found that carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of cattle hair reflects dietary and farm system differences, offering insights into cattle nutritional ecology and agroecosystem characteristics.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study reported that captive muskoxen in Fairbanks, Alaska have significantly faster and variable guard hair growth rates compared to free-ranging Greenland muskoxen, indicating that a universal hair growth rate cannot be applied across different muskox populations or time periods.

This case report describes a woman diagnosed with paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome associated with Castleman's disease, leading to constrictive bronchiolitis and multiple organ involvement despite corticosteroid treatment.

This research identified two genetic variants that influence the white-spotted coat patterns in Holstein-Friesian cattle, involving regulatory changes in the MITF and KIT genes, confirmed through mouse models, along with possible effects on coat patterns in other cattle breeds.

This research identified 18 significant SNPs and several candidate genes associated with udder conformation traits in Holstein cattle, providing insights into their genetic architecture.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This chapter reviews various fungal skin diseases affecting cattle but does not report new research findings; it focuses on rare, inherited, and congenital conditions like follicular dysplasia and cutaneous asthenia.

This article discusses misconceptions around mineral nutrition in beef cattle and emphasizes that sub-clinical deficiencies or toxicities, rather than overt symptoms, often cause economic losses, but it reports no new findings.

This study concluded that the elemental composition of tail brush hair in newborn calves can indicate trace element supply to the fetus during the last months of pregnancy.

This study found that older steers had higher hair cortisol concentrations compared to younger steers, suggesting age affects chronic stress biomarkers in beef cattle.

Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers described dermatophylosis in sheep from Northeast Brazil, observing sporadic cases marked by alopecic and crusty skin lesions, affecting both adult males and females primarily in April, June, and November.

This case report suggests that poor hair and nail growth in children with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay may indicate a biotin-responsive condition, as biotin and acetazolamide therapy improved symptoms and school performance in the reported patient.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.

The meeting highlighted the importance of genetic testing and multidisciplinary approaches in pediatric dermatology.

In this study, researchers used yaks as a natural model to investigate hair growth mechanisms, overcoming previous limitations by establishing in vitro models of hair follicle-associated cells and optimizing methods for cell culture and differentiation.

The study observed that Friesian heifers experienced significant adaptation challenges to Kenya's equatorial conditions, taking around 18 months for their coat composition to resemble that of Dutch heifers in summer.

This research observed that, in domestic cats like Maine Coon and Rex breeds, a "piebald" coat color pattern is likely influenced by the Silver locus, although the specific mutations involved are yet to be published.

This study found that dogs with dermatitis exhibited specific histological skin changes, such as hyperkeratosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, and showed increased leukocyte counts compared to non-dermatitis dogs.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.
