    🚨 The study is relevant to hair biology and potentially to human hair growth mechanisms, but it focuses on cashmere goats, which limits direct applicability to human hair loss treatments.
    Studysummary This study found that exogenous melatonin enhances the development of secondary hair follicles in Cashmere goats by promoting miRNA-mRNA interactions, specifically via the chi-let-7d-5p/WNT2 axis, which suggests a mechanism for melatonin's effects on hair growth involving microRNA regulation.
