This study found that BNC2 is critical for hair follicle regeneration and other developmental processes, as Bnc2−/− mice exhibit incomplete hair follicle development and developmental defects, and BNC1 cannot substitute for BNC2.

In this study, researchers identified genetic variants in the PCCA and PRLR genes that are significantly associated with hair coat length in Brangus heifers, potentially contributing to more thermotolerant cattle.

Caloric restriction improves skin and fur structure but can cause muscle loss and movement issues.

In this study, the authors reported that feeding cashmere goats with essential oil-cobalt significantly enhanced their growth, meat quality, and fiber quality, while stimulating immune-related physiological changes.

This study identified genomic regions and genes associated with wool, live weight, body condition, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep, highlighting potential genetic factors influencing these characteristics.

This study identifies a strong association between a 505-bp indel mutation in the FGF5 gene and cashmere growth in goats, suggesting potential use as a genetic marker in breeding programs.

This study in Aswan governorate reported that emaciated cattle showed decreased blood cell counts and serum minerals, as well as elevated liver enzymes, possibly associated with parasitic infections.

This study found that cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility exhibited significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, and hematological measures, indicating moderate microcytic, hypochromic anemia.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study found that stage-specific epigenetic changes, particularly involving the gene PDGFC, may affect wool fiber development in Zhongwei goats, potentially serving as a biomarker for fur goat selection.

In this study, the researchers observed that Eda mRNA expression in goat skin peaks during the catagen phase of the hair cycle, suggesting its involvement in hair cycle regulation.

This study investigated a severe outbreak of mange in a goat herd in North Goa and found that treatment with Ivermectin and other supplements led to complete recovery, highlighting the need for preventive measures in hot, humid regions.

This study found that camera trap images revealed mange-like skin lesions in snow leopards and other species in Kyrgyz reserves, with detection rates varying widely and raising concerns about disease spread.

In this study, researchers using Astral—DIA proteomics technology identified 67 differentially expressed proteins in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep, linking proteins like keratin and MGST3 in pathways to wool fineness regulation, particularly highlighting their association with hair follicle development.

This study explored the molecular biology of skin adaptations in pangolins, revealing that certain genes for lipid synthesis have inactive patterns, while others related to skin function remain intact, suggesting complex evolutionary changes in their skin physiology.

In this study, increasing the methionine level in the diet of pregnant female rabbits stimulated the development of hair follicles in their offspring and improved hair fiber diameter.

In this study, researchers observed that dorsal horn cells in fetal sheep begin responding to natural cutaneous stimulation by mid-gestation, coinciding with the initial innervation of the skin.

In this study, researchers found that a single oral dose of afoxolaner was safe and effective in treating a severe case of Trixacarus caviae mange in a guinea pig, achieving full remission of clinical signs and mite eradication within 4 weeks without needing repeated treatment.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This study suggests that feeding pregnant mares protein blocks with urea is as effective as hand-fed protein supplements in supporting hair follicle development and protein status.

In this study, the authors found that the shoulder guard hair of captive sika deer most accurately reflects dietary information during winter coat growth, useful for analyzing wild deer hair samples.

This study found that EDA and EDAR are expressed throughout cashmere goat fetal development and play a critical role in hair follicle formation by influencing gene expression in fibroblasts and epithelial cells.

This study found that a significant number of boreal woodland caribou in NE British Columbia showed symptoms of trace mineral deficiencies and exposure to various pathogens, with substantial winter tick infestations affecting a majority of individuals.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This review discusses dermatological issues in llamas, detailing common findings, parasites, and disorders, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for recognizing normal skin variations and discusses potential treatments like zinc therapy for certain conditions.

Mice hair follicles take in the amino acid cystine.

In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.
