    Wei Lian, Guoqing Jiang, Xueyong Wu … Dongjun Liu
    Studysummary This study found that treating secondary hair follicle stem cells from Arbas cashmere goats with 10 μg/mL quercetin for 48 hours significantly boosted cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis by activating several signaling pathways, suggesting a potential strategy to enhance cashmere production.
