Transcriptomic profiling of dorsal root ganglia in atopic and healthy dogs: A comparative RNA sequencing study with implications in cutaneous itch research. [PDF]
Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.

Dermoscopic evaluation of normal canine skin with a handheld dermoscope. [PDF]
Background – Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that provides a magnified view of skin structures. While dermoscopy is described for certain canine dermatological diseases, large‐scale studies evaluating normal skin are lacking. Hypothesis/Objective – This study aimed to correlate dermoscopic findings with histopathological results in healthy ...

Canine melanocytes: Immunohistochemical expression of melanocytic markers in different somatic areas
Background – Melanoblasts originate in the neural crest from where they migrate to peripheral tissues and differentiate into melanocytes. Alteration during melanocyte development and life can cause different diseases, ranging from pigmentary disorders and decreased visual and auditory functions, to tumours such as melanoma.

Background – Canine flank alopecia (CFA) is characterized by seasonally recurring noninflammatory, occasionally hyperpigmented alopecia predominantly in the thoracolumbar area. Previous studies suggest that reduced production of endogenous melatonin may play a role in the pathogenesis of this condition, and placebo‐controlled studies on the efficacy of
