    TLDR Melatonin helps control hair growth in cashmere goats, which could improve cashmere production.
    This study investigates how melatonin influences hair follicle growth in cashmere goats, aiming to improve cashmere yield and quality. It identifies important targets like ATP6V0A4, DLX3, and SMOC2, which could be crucial for managing cashmere growth and shedding in different goat breeds. The results provide a basis for future research to enhance cashmere production.
