This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

This study found that wool fiber surfaces damaged in processing tended to have cellular debris adhering to them, while undamaged surfaces did not show this interaction.

This study suggests that the KAP 7 gene may serve as a potential molecular marker for genetic selection to improve staple length and greasy fleece weight in Rambouillet sheep.

This study found that melatonin combined with bromocryptine treatment in Spanish goats increased secondary hair follicle numbers and extended the cashmere growth phase during spring.

This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

This study generated a gene-edited cashmere goat with improved cashmere yield and fiber length by integrating VEGF at the FGF5 site, offering insights into hair growth mechanisms.

This study explored the decline in cashmere production in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through RNA-seq analysis, finding that AKT1 expression and related signaling pathways are age-dependent, with peak AKT1 upregulation at 12 months aligning with peak cashmere production.

This study found that coconut oil significantly increased the tensile strength of twisted hair fibers due to its ability to penetrate the hair core, in contrast to mineral oil.

This article discusses the relationship between topical sunscreen use and vitamin D synthesis but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that repeated immunization against melatonin in Australian feral goats temporarily increased cashmere production and altered growth cycles, but these effects diminished after the first year.

This study mapped the genome-wide epigenetic landscape in secondary hair follicle stem cells of goats, revealing distinct histone modification signatures associated with cashmere fiber cycling during different stages of hair growth.

This study found that inserting the Tβ4 gene into cashmere goats increased cashmere yield by 74.5% without compromising quality, suggesting potential economic benefits for goat breeding.

This study applied a machine learning-based genomic analysis to identify genetic markers associated with wool traits in Central Anatolian Merino sheep, successfully highlighting loci relevant to fiber diameter, staple length, and greasy fleece yield, which could inform breeding programs to enhance wool quality and yield.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This study found that supplementing pregnant cashmere goats' diets according to nutritional standards improved their fiber production, growth, fertility, and the development of kids' secondary hair follicles.

This study found that in Merino-Southdown cross sheep, the presence of the C variant of the KRTAP26-1 gene was associated with higher wool quality, including increased wool yield and staple length.

This study found that in cashmere goats, melatonin treatments enhanced cashmere growth by stimulating secondary hair follicles, increasing follicle density, and improving yield and quality, highlighting key genes and metabolic pathways involved in this process.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

Among Merino × Southdown cross sheep, this study found that certain variants of the KRT81 gene were associated with differences in fleece weight, but not with staple length or fibre diameter traits.

This review explains the biology and preparation of platelet-rich plasma and discusses its clinical applications in plastic surgery, but reports no new findings.

In this report, a case of a large primary extradural solitary fibrous tumor in the sacrum of a 31-year-old woman is detailed, where surgical treatment led to remission and improved functionality, despite the patient opting out of adjuvant radiotherapy to preserve fertility potential.

In this study, researchers found that single SNPs have a small genetic effect on phenotypes in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, and constructing haplotypes from associated SNPs may uncover complex variations in cashmere traits, aiding genomics and breeding efforts.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

This study found that trichohyalin is expressed in cancerous tongue epithelial cells, while plectin-1 expression may indicate malignancy.

This review discusses the use and sustainability challenges of luxury animal hair fibers in the fashion industry and reports no new research findings.

This study suggests that ethylene and lignoceric acid (C24:0) may promote cotton fiber and Arabidopsis root hair growth by activating the pectin biosynthesis network.

In this study, cashmere goats engineered to overexpress the Tβ4 gene in hair follicles produced more cashmere, indicating that Tβ4 promotes secondary hair follicle development and enhances yield.
