10 / 10 results

research Melatonin Regulates the Periodic Growth of Cashmere by Upregulating the Expression of Wnt10b and β-Catenin in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats

9 citations , July 2021 in “Frontiers in genetics”

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

research Roles of Melatonin in Goat Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Pluripotency Through Regulating the Wnt Signaling Pathway

11 citations , June 2021 in “Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology”

This study found that melatonin may enhance goat cashmere growth by activating Wnt signaling and regulating stem cell pluripotency through mechanisms involving NOGGIN and BMP4 pathways.

Effects of Melatonin Administration to Cashmere Goats on Cashmere Production and Hair Follicle Characteristics in Two Consecutive Cashmere Growth Cycles

research Effects of Melatonin Administration to Cashmere Goats on Cashmere Production and Hair Follicle Characteristics in Two Consecutive Cashmere Growth Cycles

8 citations , August 2020 in “Domestic Animal Endocrinology”

This study found that melatonin treatment improved cashmere production for one cycle in cashmere goats, enhancing fiber quality and follicle activity, but had no effects in the subsequent cycle.

Melatonin Promotes Secondary Hair Follicle Development in Early Postnatal Cashmere Goats and Improves Cashmere Quantity and Quality by Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity and Suppressing Apoptosis

research Melatonin Promotes Secondary Hair Follicle Development in Early Postnatal Cashmere Goats and Improves Cashmere Quantity and Quality by Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity and Suppressing Apoptosis

46 citations , March 2019 in “Journal of Pineal Research”

The study found that melatonin treatment in early postnatal cashmere goats increased both the quantity and quality of cashmere by promoting secondary hair follicle development and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activities.

Melatonin Promotes Cashmere Goat (Capra Hircus) Secondary Hair Follicle Growth: A View from Integrated Analysis of Long Non-Coding and Coding RNAs

research Melatonin Promotes Cashmere Goat (Capra Hircus) Secondary Hair Follicle Growth: A View from Integrated Analysis of Long Non-Coding and Coding RNAs

32 citations , May 2018 in “Cell Cycle”

This study found that melatonin exposure promoted hair follicle fiber growth in Cashmere goat cultures, potentially influencing pathways related to the microvascular system and extracellular matrix.

research A Microarray-Based Analysis Reveals That a Short Photoperiod Promotes Hair Growth in the Arbas Cashmere Goat

40 citations , January 2016 in “PLoS ONE”

The study found that exposing Arbas Cashmere goats to a short photoperiod significantly increased cashmere production by extending the anagen phase of hair follicles, with gene expression changes identified as contributing factors.

research A Meeting of Two Chronobiological Systems: Circadian Proteins Period1 and BMAL1 Modulate the Human Hair Cycle Clock

92 citations , September 2013 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that peripheral clock genes, particularly BMAL1 and Period1, modulate human hair follicle cycling, suggesting their potential as therapeutic targets for affecting hair growth.

research Local Circadian Clock Gates Cell Cycle Progression of Transient Amplifying Cells During Regenerative Hair Cycling

116 citations , May 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study discovered that the circadian clock influences hair follicle regeneration, making hair grow faster in the morning and causing more radiation-induced hair loss in the morning compared to the evening.

research Androgens and Hair Growth

209 citations , September 2008 in “Dermatologic Therapy”

This review discusses the role of androgens in hair follicle regulation and suggests that a better understanding could enhance treatments for conditions like hirsutism and alopecia, but does not present new findings.

research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice

53 citations , November 2006 in “Journal of Endocrinology”

This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.
