Expression of Vimentin in Hair Follicle Growth Cycle of Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats

The study investigated the expression of vimentin in the hair follicle growth cycle of Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, finding that vimentin levels were highest during the anagen (growth) phase and lowest during the telogen (resting) phase. Vimentin was primarily expressed in the outer root sheath of hair follicles, suggesting it played a crucial role in regulating hair follicle development and growth. The findings provided insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth in Cashmere goats, with potential implications for improving fiber production.
