    TLDR Fox genes are important for hair growth and development in cashmere goats.
    The study investigated the expression of FoxN1, FoxE1, and FoxI3 genes in the skin follicles of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats at various fetal and adult stages. Researchers found that FoxN1 and FoxE1 genes peaked in expression around gestational days 135 and 95, respectively, while FoxI3 peaked earlier at day 75. These genes were also differentially expressed in adult goats, with higher levels of FoxN1 and FoxE1 in September. The findings indicated that these Fox genes play crucial roles in hair follicle development, differentiation, and cyclical growth, providing insights that could improve cashmere production and address hair growth issues in other species.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
