Tracing Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin Use Through Gene Expression in Blood, Hair Follicles, and Milk Somatic Cells: A Matrix Comparison

This study demonstrated that a specific 9-kbp fragment of the bovine keratin 6 gene effectively directs tissue-specific and inducible expression in transgenic mice, suggesting potential applications for targeted gene therapy in hyperproliferative skin conditions.

This study found that in bovine skin, leptin and its receptor are expressed in the epidermis and hair follicles, suggesting a role in epidermis growth and hair follicle cycling through paracrine and autocrine mechanisms.

Researchers developed a new way to measure gene activity in single hair follicles and found that a specific gene's activity changes with different amounts and times of treatment.

This study reports that BMP2 expression in goat skin is higher during late telogen and early anagen phases, indicating a potential role in hair follicle regeneration.

This study investigated differences in gene expression in the mammary glands of SLICK and wild-type Holstein cattle, finding limited differences overall but identifying enriched pathways related to arachidonic acid metabolism and oxytocin production, which merit further exploration.
