In this case report, long-term oral antibiotics were extremely effective in treating a 49-year-old man with a therapy-resistant botryomycosis infection on his forearm.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

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 study suggests that the cell membrane complex in hair cuticles contains hydrophilic regions with disulfide bonds allowing polymer uptake and hydrophobic lamella-like lipid layers.

Solid Lipid Particle technology makes retinol more stable, effective, and gentle on the skin.

This article reviews the role of sulfhydryl compounds, particularly cystine, in sulfur metabolism and the physiology of skin in both normal and pathological conditions, reporting no new findings.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.

This study found that iodine deficiency, iodine excess, or the presence of antithyroid substances affected growth and behavior in Wistar rats, leading to various symptoms such as lethargy and alopecia.

This case report describes the successful treatment of scedosporiosis-induced cellulitis with voriconazole and intermittent pneumatic compression in a 72-year-old Portuguese woman.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

This study found that thioglycolic acid molecules in hair treatments are primarily located in intrafibrillar unordered areas, where they redistribute disulfide bonds.

This study provides evidence supporting the theory that the presence of selenocysteine in proteins, such as thioredoxin reductase, may confer chemical reversibility, which contributes to their oxidative resistance and potential catalytic functions.

In this study, researchers mapped cysteine accessibility in wool keratins and KAPs, revealing that certain cysteines in keratin end domains and Types I and II rod domains are accessible and likely involved in forming disulfide bonds.

This study uncovered how Staphylococcus hominis transports an odor precursor molecule, potentially leading to new ways to control body odor production in humans.

This paper describes recent advancements in the synthesis of thiasteroids but reports no new experimental results, noting that introducing heteroatoms in steroidal structures has potential biological effects.

This study found that skin sulfhydryl oxidase plays a role in keratinization and may contribute to skin's protective functions, with its expression influenced by irritants and differentiation modifiers.

This study found that oxidative treatment with peracetic acid dissociates some disulfide bonds in human hair fibers while maintaining the crystalline structure, suggesting different mechanisms stabilize different regions of intermediate filaments.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

This review highlights that hair's chemical bonds, particularly disulfide bonds, are not homogeneous, as previously thought, but instead vary in response to different cosmetic treatments, suggesting a need for further exploration of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions.

This study reports that despite normal cystine incorporation into hair follicles, trichothiodystrophy patients have decreased cystine levels in hair shafts, contradicting the hypothesis of defective transport in hair follicles.

This study found that waving virgin human hair with thioglycerol at pH 9.0 using ammonia solution caused less damage than using thioglycolic acid, while maintaining good waving efficiency.

In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.
