Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the cosmetic efficacy of the transplantation of follicles with intact and non-intact hair bulbs in the treatment for vitiligo.
Methods: The single-hair follicle units with intact hair bulbs and un-intact hair bulbs were transplanted into the skin of vitiligo. The diameters of regrowing hair shafts and repigmentation of implanted follicles were detected analyzed by dermatoscopy (Beining BN-PFMF Skin and Hair Visualizer).
Results: The survival rates of follicles with intact and non-intact hair bulbs were 60.00% and 50.62%, respectively. The average diameters of hair shafts and repigmentation of the two groups were 92.83 ± 7.26 µm vs 55.86 ± 2.64 µm ( < .05), 2.62 ± 0.13 mm vs 2.63 ± 0.17 mm ( > .05), respectively.
Conclusion: Single follicle transplantation was an alternative effective choice for the treatment of vitiligo. The skin implanted with follicle with non-intact hair bulb was less hairy.

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease resulting in nonscarring hair loss. Limited data are available on the treatment and prognosis of canine AA.
Hypothesis/objectives: The goal of this retrospective study was to describe the clinical and histopathological features and treatment outcomes of 14 canine AA patients.

Cell expansion relies on turgor pressure and acidification-dependent loosening of the rigid cell wall. Distinct cell surface-based and intracellular auxin signaling pathways synergistically activate plasma membrane H+-ATPases, acidifying the apoplast, a prerequisite for cell elongation. Unlike in shoots, auxin inhibits cell elongation in roots.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of alternating dry and moist years on maize root gene expression and rhizosphere prokaryote composition, and to reveal interactions between the two.
Methods: Zea mays B73 wild type (WT) and a root hair deficient mutant (rth3) were grown on two substrates during a three-year field experiment with alternating precipitation, designated as dry, moist, dry.
Namibian fairy circles: Hostile territory for soil nematodes.

Fairy circles are rings of grass (2-12 m diameter) with centers of bare soil that are found in some arid grasslands. Above- and belowground chemical and biological processes have been explored in an ongoing debate about the ultimate causes of this pattern. Belowground biota, including beneficial and pathogenic nematodes in the soil food web, may both influence and respond to the formation of fairy circles.

Legume nodulation by nitrogen-fixing rhizobia displays strict host specificity, primarily determined by rhizobial nodulation factors (NFs). While the kinase domain of NF receptors in Lotus japonicus suffices for nodule organogenesis, their extracellular domains govern rhizobial infection. In Sinorhizobium meliloti, specific NF modifications (nodL-dependent acetylation and nodF-dependent N-linked C16:2 acyl chains) are critical for infecting certain Medicago truncatula ecotypes, with LYK2bis essential for nodL-mediated infection.
