Abstract:
... The microbiome of human hair follicles (HFs) has emerged as an important player in different HF and skin pathologies, yet awaits in‐depth exploration. This raises questions regarding the tightly linked interactions between host environment, nutrient dependency of host‐associated microbes, microbial metabolism, microbe‐microbe interactions and host immunity. The use of simple model systems facilita ...

Abstract:
... Canine genodermatoses represent a broad spectrum of diseases with diverse phenotypes. Modern genetic technology including whole genome sequencing has expedited the identification of novel genes and greatly simplified the establishment of genetic diagnoses in such heterogeneous disorders. The precise genetic diagnosis of a heritable skin disorder is essential for the appropriate counselling of owne ...

Abstract:
... Pemphigus foliaceous (PF) is a pustular, immune‐mediated skin disease characterised by acantholytic cells and commonly treated with high doses of glucocorticoids. This report describes one case of feline PF successfully controlled using oral oclacitinib, suggesting a possible therapeutic alternative to glucocorticoids in some cases. ...

Abstract:
... Considering that emerging infectious diseases are one of the major drivers of global amphibian decline, controlling the spread of infections are even more challenging. Amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis, which is caused by two species of fungi belonging to the Batrachochytrium genus, has been detected in at least 700 amphibian species causing mass mortalities in all continents where amphibian ...

Abstract:
... A four-year-old intact male Labrador retriever was presented with acute onset of ulcerative lesions around both eyes, on the mucocutaneous junctions around the muzzle and nares, and on the lateral aspects of paw pads. All lesions were symmetrical and well demarcated. The rest of ocular and systemic examination was unremarkable. The onset of lesions was acute and coincided with an episode of intens ...

Abstract:
... Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare immune‐mediated skin disorder of the dog, usually treated with immunosuppressive medications such as oral glucocorticoids, azathioprine or ciclosporin. Herein we report the successful treatment of pemphigus vulgaris in a dog, using oclacitinib and a topical product containing fucidic acid (0.5 % w/w) and betamethasone valerate. ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Increasing complexity of treatment plans is associated with higher levels of caregiver burden in owners of dogs with skin disease. It is possible that elevated caregiver burden resulting from treatment complexity could, in turn, affect the veterinarian–client relationship. HYPOTHESES/OBJECTIVES: We expected that treatment complexity, caregiver burden, and the client’s perception of the ...

Abstract:
... The mites Demodex folliculorum (Simon) and Demodex brevis Akbulatova are part of the regular human skin fauna, found in the pilosebaceous unit, and their infestations might cause the disease known as demodicosis. Inflammatory response is triggered by this interaction in patients, causing the appearance of several facial dermatoses. In the present revision, mites will be characterized and their ass ...

Abstract:
... Discoid lupus erythematous (DLE) is a common autoimmune skin disorder of dogs where keratinocytes play a pivotal role both in the innate and adaptive immune responses. As for the innate response, pattern recognition receptors (PRR), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), can activate macrophages and immune tissue cells allowing for transmission and transduction of signals through cytokine and chemo ...

Abstract:
... The recently emerged fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) causes the lethal skin disease chytridiomycosis in susceptible salamander species and is predicted to emerge within the Americas with devastating consequences. Host responses to Bsal are variable but the factors underlying these differences are unknown. To investigate the role of skin‐associated immune defenses against ...

Abstract:
... Multiple threats, including emerging infectious diseases, are contributing to the extinction of amphibians worldwide. One of the most devastating diseases is the fatal amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). The presence of Bd in North Africa was described in 2011 and this included the distribution range of the endemic Moroccan midwife toad ...
... AIMS: Accurate identification of dermatophytes is essential for implementing appropriate antifungal treatment and epidemiological analysis. However, the limitations of conventional diagnostics are a frequently discussed topic, and new diagnostic techniques are constantly expanding. In this study, we assess the suitability of conventional diagnostic techniques in comparison to the real‐time PCR ass ...

Abstract:
... Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 6 (PTPN6) is a key regulatory protein in cellular signal transduction in the control of inflammation and cell death. Impairment of PTPN6 is known to be associated with human inflammatory diseases including neutrophilic dermatosis; however, comprehensive studies of PTPN6-associated neutrophilic dermatosis have not clearly identified the relationships i ...

Abstract:
... In clinics, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is established as a non-invasive therapeutic modality for certain types of cancers and skin disease. However, due to poor water solubility, photobleaching, and the dark toxicity of photosensitizers (PSs), further developments are required to improve the efficiency of PDT. Herein, we report the role of metallocatanionic vesicles (MCVs) in enhancing the phototo ...
... Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a frequently diagnosed skin disease that is difficult to treat. HS is usually associated with itching and pain and causes both physical and psychological issues. In this study, a safe, convenient, and efficient therapy for HS is developed. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) and Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) are used to prepare microneedles (MN) via a micro-molding meth ...

Abstract:
... Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) represent a benign proliferative skin disease in the epidermis and dermis. CMN are historically known to be associated with activating NRAS or BRAF mutations. Melanoma frequently harbors the BRAF p.Val600Glu mutation, which is also commonly found in benign nevi. A recent study reported mutation of MAP2K1, a downstream effector of the RAS-RAF-MEK pathway, in melan ...
