This case report details a 10-year-old boy diagnosed with kerion celsi caused by Microsporum gypseum, successfully treated with itraconazole over 4.5 months.

The article on the stomach-protecting effects of Cibotium barometz hair was retracted due to unreliable data.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This study found a significant correlation between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the scalp microbiome and female androgenetic alopecia, with notable prevalence differences in specific bacterial groups between affected and non-affected women.

This study found that supplementing arsenic-fed Black Bengal kids with vitamin E, alone or combined with yeast culture, partially ameliorated growth and reduced arsenic load in faeces, urine, and hair.

In this study, SCOBY kombucha gel significantly accelerated incision wound healing in mice, particularly with a 12% concentration, as shown by a notable reduction in wound size compared to lower concentrations and controls.

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

This case report details a rare large epidermal cyst over the sacrumcoccygeal region in an elderly patient, which was successfully removed surgically.

This review highlights Malassezia's dual role as both protective and pathogenic within the hair follicle ecosystem, noting its involvement in skin disorders and potential cancer progression, and calls for further studies to develop targeted treatments for related conditions.

This report documented the first known case of Malassezia slooffiae-associated dermatitis identified in a goat through diagnostic work-up, including histology and DNA sequencing.

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

This narrative review discusses various microbes associated with fermentation and diseases in plants, animals, and humans, reporting no new research results.

This study found that GALT5 and GALT2 are redundant enzymes essential for O-glycosylation of AGPs, with mutations leading to significant growth and development defects in plants.

This study found that the yeast androgen screen (YAS) could detect the activity of methyltestosterone in urine for a longer period than classical GC/MS, potentially identifying long-lasting metabolites.

In this study, oral administration of Lactococcus lactis strain H61 to senescence-accelerated mice was linked to reduced bone density loss, less skin ulcer incidence, and reduced hair loss, along with altered immune responses.

This study found that all tested cats and 86.66% of dogs were carriers of dermatophytes like Microsporum canis, with cats showing higher prevalence, indicating these asymptomatic animals may significantly contribute to the spread of dermatophytosis and dermatomycoses.

This study found that probiotics, specifically the L. plantarum MTCC 1325 strain, may have protective effects against Alzheimer's-like symptoms induced by D-Galactose in animal models, suggesting potential therapeutic use for neurodegenerative disorders.

This study identified ISPP-Rb, a novel immuno-stimulatory complex from Royoporus badius, that significantly activates murine macrophage cells and induces multiple proinflammatory cytokines.

This study found that all healthy cats tested were carriers of *Microsporum canis*, and 86.66% of dogs carried this fungus, with further positive cultures for other dermatophytes and yeasts suggesting these animals may contribute to environmental fungal spread.

This study found that the presence of Malassezia fungi in the scalp's hairy roots was more pronounced in individuals with androgenetic alopecia than in healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to the condition.

This case study reports a rare instance of a subcutaneous abscess caused by Candida albicans infection in a 42-year-old Japanese woman following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

This study found that Mueller-Hinton Agar performed better than Dermasel Agar for antifungal susceptibility testing of feline dermatophytes, providing reliable susceptibility data for effective antifungal therapy.

In this study, researchers generated a mouse mutation called scraggly, related to hair and skin defects, and mapped it to a genetic location on mouse Chromosome 19 distinct from similar mutations.

This source discusses how the skin mycobiome, dominated by Malassezia fungi, may provide a unique niche that can be disrupted by environmental changes, potentially leading to the fungal pathogen C. auris overtaking Malassezia and predisposing individuals to severe infections.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study found that the Geh gene responsible for lipase enzyme production was highly expressed in Staphylococcus aureus isolates from acne patients, implicating this enzyme in the infection's pathogenesis.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

This study suggests that the presence of Malassezia hyphae may contribute to the development of androgenetic alopecia, as treatment with antifungal agents reduced fungal load and halted hair loss.

This study found that 90% of African pygmy hedgehogs at Golden Dhonje Farm in Bogor District were affected by potential zoonotic fungi, including Scopulariopsis sp. and Penicillium sp.
