This study demonstrated the usefulness of fully implantable loggers in measuring heart rate and sub-blubber temperature in captive harbour seals, with findings suggesting lower heart rates during molting and differences in temperature regulation between adults and sub-adults.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

This study found that specific genetic changes in both coding and noncoding regions may have independently driven the evolution of hairlessness in various mammalian species through accelerated evolution.

In this study, researchers identified a new dominant mutation in Hairless mice, called Pied, resulting from a deletion in the Adam10 gene, which causes freckle-like skin pigmentation by inhibiting melanocyte expansion.

This study identified ectomesenchyme as a major source of epidermal stem cells in mouse skin, with ectomesenchymal keratinocytes occupying a significant portion of the epidermal stem cell-enriched population.

This review discusses the conserved molecular mechanisms controlling hair follicle development and cycling and suggests they may also apply to other ectodermal derivatives, like teeth and feathers, but it reports no new results.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

This case report documents the first instance of recurrent flank alopecia in a Tibetan Terrier, diagnosed alongside atopic dermatitis.

This study examined patients with trichostasis spinulosa and identified distinct differences in the distribution and microscopic appearances of lesions compared to keratosis pilaris and eruptive vellus hair cysts.

This study shows that differences in Hoxc gene expression in hair follicle mesenchyme along the body axis contribute to regional variations in mammalian hair growth.

In this study, the researchers observed that inducing and then withdrawing β-catenin expression in a bigenic mouse model caused reversible changes in skin morphology, indicating dependence on β-catenin signaling.

This study found that gray mongooses have more numerous and well-developed sebaceous glands compared to domestic cats, suggesting they may benefit from enhanced lipid-derived skin protection.

This study found that methylene blue staining may reveal anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat mystacial pad with greater clarity than the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique.

This study found that Hoxc13 mutations in mice cause defects in hair, nail, and tongue structures, with the most noticeable issue being brittle hair leading to alopecia.

This study found that over-expression of thymosin beta-4 in transgenic mice accelerated wound healing and hair growth, but did not affect tumor progression despite stimulating tumor metastasis.

This study investigated the hair structure of wild pigs in the Balıkesir region using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, finding distinct bifurcation patterns, but concluded that pig bristles used in brushes likely wouldn't retain these features, complicating species identification.

Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.

Krox20 is important for cell differentiation in the brain and hair follicles.

This review discusses cases of ringworm of the scalp, highlighting the potential for spontaneous cure when the infection is caused by an organism pathogenic to animals, and reports no new clinical results.

TEDAR is crucial for skin cell differentiation and barrier formation.

This study reports that overexpressing the BMP antagonist noggin in mice inhibits eyelid opening by reducing apoptosis and delaying cell differentiation in the eyelid epithelium.

This study suggests that inducible transgenic mice showing hair follicle changes similar to telogen effluvium in humans might serve as a useful model for understanding this type of hair loss.

This study found that both trichoscopy and folliscopy are highly accurate for diagnosing telogen effluvium, but trichoscopy is easier and quicker to perform.

In this study of foxes and jackals in Ilam province, Iran, 19.35% of foxes and 17.85% of jackals were found to be infested with ectoparasites, mainly Ctenocephalides canis.

This study mapped gene expression in different skin structures of dogs, finding similarities to humans that support using dogs as models for human skin diseases.

This study observed that osteopontin mRNA levels in rat hair follicles vary throughout the hair cycle, peaking during the catagen phase and disappearing in the telogen and anagen phases.

Pigs are a good model for studying human hair growth and disorders.

This study concluded that terminal Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and regeneration of mechanosensory lanceolate complexes at hair follicles in adult mice.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This case report describes a diagnosis of cutaneous pilus migrans in a 19-month-old girl, highlighting its rarity and distinction from larva migrans, and confirming it through microscopic examination.
