June 2022 in “Czech Journal of Animal Science” This study identified 21 novel circular RNAs in cashmere goats, with nine significantly more expressed during the anagen phase of hair follicle growth, suggesting roles in hair regeneration and cashmere yield enhancement.
This study found that exosomes derived from hair follicle neural crest stem cells significantly promoted nerve regeneration in injured neurons, particularly when overexpressing miR-214-3p, which enhanced axon extension and motor function recovery in both in vitro and in vivo models.
This study found that somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin exhibit significant plasticity, influenced by epithelial and neural factors, indicating a complex interaction in maintaining homeostasis.
