This case report highlights a 34-year-old woman with traction alopecia, where diagnosis was clarified by the presence of peripilar keratin sheaths, a useful dermoscopic clue.

In this case report, a 2.5-year-old cat with scabies and bacterial pneumonia showed significant improvement in symptoms and hair regrowth following a treatment regimen including ivermectin, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, diphenhydramine, methylprednisolone, and supportive therapies over 100 days.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method for diagnosing different hair loss conditions.

This study reports five cases of congenital triangular alopecia featuring a central island of short terminal hair, with the cause remaining unknown.

This study reports that eliminating both Trp53 and Rb genes in mouse epidermis accelerates aggressive squamous cell carcinoma development due to early activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor/Akt pathway.

In this study, zinc chloride was found to be severely irritant to the skin in rabbit, guinea-pig, and mouse models, while zinc oxide, zinc sulphate, zinc pyrithione, and zinc undecylenate showed minimal to no irritancy.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.

This report describes a rare case of pili multigemini, where multiple hair shafts arise from a single follicle, discovered during an examination for folliculitis on a patient's abdomen.

This review highlights that trichofolliculomas can resemble certain skin cancers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing their clinical features to avoid unnecessary surgery; it reports no new clinical results.

Three related Persian cats have a rare, likely hereditary skin condition causing hair loss and poor coat quality, with limited treatment options.

This case report details a 4-year-old girl with arginosuccinic-aciduria, showing neurological symptoms and weakened hair, but the mechanisms behind these issues remain uncertain.

This study describes a rare form of congenital alopecia in domestic short hair cats, characterized by hair shaft defects and follicular dystrophy similar to those seen in certain mutant mouse strains.

This study found that human basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas have distinct gene expression patterns, with specific up-regulation of zinc finger encoding genes in basal cell carcinoma.

This overview describes various disorders, including haphephobia, alopecia areata, and urinary incontinence, summarizing potential treatments and management strategies specific to each condition.

This collection of reviews, edited by Ken Lukowiak and Janis Weeks, explores diverse sensory systems across species, including olfaction, echolocation, magnetoreception, and visual adaptations, without presenting new experimental results.

This editorial discusses the management of lower urinary tract symptoms in elderly males and does not provide new research findings.

Buy the basic tools you need quickly.

This study found that steroid sulfatase in the dermal papilla of hair follicles metabolizes dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate to support the development of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential for steroid sulfatase inhibitors as treatments.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

Thorough clinical examination is crucial for diagnosing unusual alopecia.

This study found that using sulfur 35 L-cystine for measuring linear hair growth is accurate, cosmetically acceptable, and safe in both experimental animals and humans.

This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.

This article reviews literature on hair casts, shedding light on this rarely discussed hair disorder, along with a case report of a 5-year-old mistakenly treated for head lice.

This case report describes two instances of habit tic nail deformities associated with alopecia areata.

This study shows that microdiffraction experiments reveal structural layers in keratinous tissues, each with different keratin types, potentially explaining their dual role as mechanical support and chemical barriers.

This study found that fucoidan extracts from Sargassum glaucescens, particularly oligo-fucoidans, promoted hair growth and increased related gene expression in human dermal papilla cells and mice models.
