    December 2016 in “ PloS one ”
    Mei Jin, Jing Wang, Mingxing Chu … Fengqin Zhao
    Studysummary This study found that Keratin 26 is expressed differently in hair follicle phases, particularly during catagen and telogen, influencing cashmere growth and interacting antagonistically with the BMP signaling pathway.
