Screening of circRNAs Associated with Secondary Wool Follicle Development in Fine-Wool Sheep and Construction of Their ceRNA Network

This study found distinct expression patterns of various transcription types during hair follicle morphogenesis, providing a foundation for understanding hair development mechanisms and aiding selective breeding for desirable wool traits in a specific breed.

This study found that Hordenine promotes hair regrowth and enhances dermal-papilla cell activity in mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

This study of Liaoning cashmere goats identified nine keratin proteins as markers of the secondary hair follicle cycle, providing insights that may enhance cashmere quality and production.

This review discusses the roles and mechanisms of thymosin β4 in hair follicle growth and development but reports no new experimental findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research on its molecular pathways.

This study found that circRNA-1926 promotes hair follicle stem cell differentiation in cashmere goats by sponging miR-148a/b-3p to increase CDK19 expression.

This study reported that specific non-coding RNAs may regulate the hair follicle cycle in Angora rabbits by acting as competitive endogenous RNAs, enhancing understanding of ncRNA roles in hair growth.

This research identified key miRNAs involved in sheep fetal hair follicle development, highlighting the prolactin signaling pathway and platelet activation as critical processes in secondary follicle initiation.

This study found that transcriptome profiling of cashmere goat skin revealed key genes and pathways involved in hair follicle initiation, differentiation, and maturation, which are critical for improving fleece production.

In this study, researchers found that Gab1 is critical in controlling the hair cycle and the self-renewal of hair follicle stem cells in mice.

This study characterizes gene expression patterns in embryonic hair follicle progenitors and their niche, identifying signaling pathways like axon guidance that may drive cellular rearrangements for hair follicle formation.

This review introduces the morphological and molecular principles of hair follicle development but reports no new experimental results, focusing on recent insights and forming a working hypothesis.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle formation and discusses potential future clinical applications for treating hair loss and skin tumors, but it reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that exposure to long days after short-day treatment induced a synchronized, out-of-season wool growth cycle in New Zealand Wiltshire sheep, similar to cycles induced in other species.

This article discusses the structure of hair follicles and their significance in evaluating hair disorders, but it does not report any new research findings.
