Effect of Body Weight Gain During Cashmere Non-Growing Period on Cashmere Production Performance and Secondary Hair Follicle Activity of Cashmere Goats

This study found that among Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, body weight gain during the non-growing period positively correlated with increases in cashmere yield, staple length, and secondary hair follicle activity, suggesting that nutritional interventions may enhance cashmere production.

This study suggests that the period from birth to 6 months is optimal for regulating secondary hair follicle development in cashmere goats, with specific growth factors potentially playing a regulatory role.

This study identified proteins involved in hair follicle formation in cashmere goat embryos, highlighting potential signaling factors that may drive hair follicle initiation and cashmere growth.

In this study, researchers found that miR-143-3p may play a novel role in cashmere growth by directly repressing the expression of Itga6 in secondary hair follicles of goats.

This review covers the structure, development, cycle, and molecular regulation of hair follicles but does not report new results, aiming to offer insights for addressing hair follicle-related diseases.

This study identified key mRNAs and lncRNAs, along with related pathways, that play potentially important roles in hair follicle development and cycling in cashmere goats.

This study identified specific miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the development of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, particularly noting a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4.

This study reports identifying 12 candidate genes potentially involved in regulating hair follicle development in cashmere goats, which could contribute to improving cashmere production.

This study found that melatonin treatment improved cashmere fiber quality and production in cashmere goats during the first growth cycle but had no effects in the subsequent cycle.

In this study, the researchers identified key genes, including KAP and KRTAP, that correlate with the secondary hair follicle growth cycle in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, emphasizing March as the significant transition month.
