This review suggests that telocytes in male reproductive organs help organize tissue structure and paracrine factors, impacting organ development and pathology, but more research is needed on their molecular pathways.

This study found that telocytes are present in the human dermis, suggesting a potential role in skin homeostasis, remodeling, regeneration, and repair.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

Postpartum hair loss usually stops within 4-6 months.

In this study, melatonin administration enhanced various cellular and structural features of the scrotal skin in Soay rams, including increased thickness, cell count, and gland activity.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.

This study found that canine hair follicle stem cells are located in the isthmus/bulge region of the hair follicle, surrounded by telocytes.

This study identified ectodin as a novel BMP inhibitor that modulates BMP signaling in ectodermal development by interacting with SHH and FGF pathways.

This study observed that tributyltin pollution induces imposex, reduces reproductive success, and leads to population decline in Ocinebrina aciculata, highlighting its sensitivity compared to other prosobranch species.

This study describes a newly identified mite species, Demodex zalophi, found on captive sea lions and highlights its unique traits, including being the first of its kind described in marine mammals.

This article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

In this study, researchers reported telocytes in the dermis of silky fowl embryos at different developmental stages, highlighting their immunophenotypes and interactions with other cells.

This study observed that developing mammary organs in Monodelphis domestica show mammary hairs in 12-week-old females, which disappear by 18 weeks, with findings suggesting shared characteristics between their nipples and eutherian nipples, supporting the evolutionary link between mammary glands and hair organs.

In this study, researchers observed that the epidermal specializations on the tail scales of Lygodactylus lizards, including sensory organs and specific secretory glands, are fully restored with similar structure and distribution on regenerated tails.

In this review, researchers examined the molecular diversity and expression patterns of major skin appendage proteins, like keratins and EDC proteins, in tetrapods, highlighting recent findings in reptiles and birds and identifying knowledge gaps for future research.

This study identified a new Demodex species causing demodicosis in a zoo koala, successfully treated with daily oral ivermectin.

This study describes the structure and composition of the epidermal horny layer in elephant seals, noting that its keratinized cells are attached without a specialized fission zone, differing from the sloughing mechanism in reptiles.

This study found that the main structural proteins of tree frog toe pads, which aid in their adhesive properties, are alpha keratins that have evolutionary origins in early tetrapods.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

This study observed that dermal dendritic cells migrate to the epidermis in mouse tail and back skin, correlating with changes in epidermal physiology like ortho- and parakeratosis.

This study found that Brandt's hedgehog has the thickest skin on its back and the thinnest on the cloacal region, with sebaceous and sweat glands primarily located in the nostril area.

This study observed that during the postnatal development of gray short-tailed opossums, skin transitions from facilitating gas exchange through a dense capillary network at birth to supporting thermoregulation, with significant changes in skin thickness and structure occurring by 35 days old.

This study discovered two new species of mites in the hair follicles of squirrel monkeys from South America, potentially causing follicle damage due to secondary infection.

This article discusses a hypothesis on the development and evolution of scales, hairs, and feathers from fish to amniotes, based on regions of dermo-epidermal interactions in skin, but reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This study concluded that among the three diagnostic techniques for detecting Demodex mites in dogs, the scraping technique provided the best diagnostic value.

This study observed that during male silkmoth development, trichogen cells in olfactory sensilla undergo significant membrane recycling, contributing to sensillum structure formation in a precisely timed series of stages.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.
