This review discusses advances in understanding epidermal biology and pathology over the past two decades and highlights the significant progress yet acknowledges that much remains to be discovered; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that sphynx cats exhibit hair follicle dysplasia with abnormal hair shaft production, but without a reduction in the number of follicles, similar to murine KRT 71 mutants.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and taxonomy of Malassezia yeasts and examines current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in veterinary medicine; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that generalized discoid lupus erythematosus is a recognized canine variant of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, resembling its human counterpart, with varied treatment responses and common relapses.

This study observed that oclacitinib, combined with oral glucocorticoids, achieved rapid and lasting clinical remission in four dogs with refractory juvenile-onset ischaemic dermatopathy, suggesting oclacitinib's potential as a useful immunosuppressive treatment in such cases.

Dermoscopy is a good, noninvasive way to see normal cat skin structures and could be useful for check-ups.

In this case report, two cats with asthma developed localized skin lesions associated with inhalant glucocorticoid use, which resolved after adjusting treatment and administering milbemycin.

This study found that three mousse products containing chlorhexidine and varying antifungal components maintained significant antibacterial activity against S. pseudintermedius in vitro for up to 10 days, while other mousses did not show significant differences.

This study reports that alopecia areata is a rare and typically cosmetic condition in horses, affecting breeds such as Appaloosas and quarter horses, with a possible seasonal pattern of worsening in spring and summer.

In this study on dogs, topical antimicrobial sprays with varying ingredient profiles showed different levels of S. pseudintermedius growth inhibition, maintaining activity for at least 10 days.

The study suggests that nestin-expressing progenitor cells can differentiate into outer root sheath keratinocytes in hair follicles, indicating distinct progenitors for different hair follicle and epidermal components.

This study observed that microneedling induced significant hair regrowth and reduced hyperpigmentation in two Pomeranians with alopecia X, with stable results over 12 months.

This study found that noninflammatory alopecia in dogs can be caused by exposure to estradiol gel used by their owners for postmenopausal symptoms, with hair regrowth observed after minimizing exposure.

This study found that deslorelin may promote hair regrowth in intact male dogs with hair cycle arrest, but had no effect on neutered females.

This study found that medroxyprogesterone injections led to partial or complete hair regrowth in some Pomeranian dogs with alopecia X, though their IGF-1 levels remained unchanged.

In this study, four dogs with a novel skin disease showed clinical lesions involving verrucous, crusted papules and plaques, and responded variably to immunosuppressive therapy, suggesting an immune-mediated cause.

This case report describes how a long-term combination of oral fatty acids and topical therapy appeared beneficial for managing autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis in a goldendoodle with a PNPLA1 mutation.

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of pili torti in a healthy young adult cat, marked by noninflammatory and nonpruritic symmetrical multifocal alopecia.

This study found that adding low-level laser therapy to conventional treatment for canine acral lick dermatitis significantly increased hair growth compared to conventional therapy alone, but did not significantly reduce licking behavior.

In this study, researchers evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of topical products on infected kitten hair, finding most were effective after one application, with enilconazole and lime sulfur showing residual activity; however, 0.15% ketoconazole with chlorhexidine had no such lasting effect.

In this case series, cats infested with Lynxacarus radovskyi developed self-induced alopecia similar to flea allergic dermatitis, primarily affecting the perianal area.

This study found that a gluconolactone-based shampoo and lotion significantly reduced skin scaling in golden retrievers with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis.

This case report describes a canine with alopecia areata universalis treated with oral ciclosporin, which was associated with hair regrowth, but some areas remained hairless after 17 months.

This study identified the expression of 5αR1 and 5αR3 enzymes in canine skin, which may advance understanding and treatment of alopecia X.

This study found that 18 mg melatonin implants did not significantly prevent recurrence of canine flank alopecia compared to placebo in dogs, though the treatment was well-tolerated, with no evidence of improved efficacy.

This review discusses the biology and pathology of hair growth, exploring novel therapies like sublingual minoxidil and Janus kinase inhibitors, but reports no new clinical data.

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 reports the first documentation of mural, mucinotic, isthmus folliculitis alopecia in Norwegian puffin dogs, noting that ciclosporin treatment led to remission while other treatments were less effective.

This study found that Pomeranian dogs with a woolly coat type and male dogs had a higher risk of developing Alopecia X in the Netherlands and Belgian regions studied.

This study found that in dogs with post-clipping alopecia, microneedling with platelet-rich plasma may induce more rapid hair regrowth compared to microneedling alone, though results were similar by six months.
