This study observed that congenital hypotrichosis in crossbred cattle is linked to short, curly, dilute-color hair, potentially due to color dilution mutants in European breeds.

This study observed significant differences in hair and cashmere properties among three goat breeds in Southwest China, noting better quality cashmere in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats and their crossbreed compared to Dazu black goats.

This review discusses gene editing techniques for breeding livestock, birds, and fish, concluding that they are key to advancing animal production by improving traits and efficiency.

This study identified a nonfunctional Itpr3 gene in BTBR mice, attributed to a 12-bp deletion, which likely causes their simultaneous hair loss and taste perception deficits.

This study found that overexpression of the enzyme SSAT in a mouse model significantly reduced prostate tumor size and progression, suggesting it could be a promising strategy against prostate cancer.

This study concluded that the frizzy mutation in mice is linked to a T to A transversion in Prss8 and is orthologous to the 'hairless' mutation in rats.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study found that unique genomic regions in Korean long-tailed chickens may contribute to their long tail feathers, offering potential for genetic advancements in ornamental chicken breeding.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This study found that the systemic wrinkled skin phenotype in Xiang pigs involves gene expression changes and genetic variations associated with oxidative stress and extracellular matrix components, resembling features seen in Shar-Pei dogs.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

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.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

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 assessed genetic variability and combining ability in winter squash for various traits related to yield and plant architecture, finding significant variability in eight traits and highlighting specific parents and hybrid combinations as promising for breeding programs focused on oil production.

This review discusses the role of androgens in the progression of cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic targets without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This study found that FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This study found similarities in the regeneration processes of MRL mouse ears and axolotl limbs, involving G2 cell cycle arrest and nerve-dependent mitosis, but the role of p21 in axolotl limb regeneration remains uncertain.

This study found that deleting FoxN1 in specific thymic epithelial cells disrupted the 3D thymic structure and led to age-dependent formation of 2D epithelial cysts, highlighting FoxN1's critical role in thymic morphogenesis.

This study found that over- and ectopic-expression of FoxN1 in early life negatively affected the development of thymic epithelial cells, T and B cells, and skin epithelial cells.

This review discusses Charnoly bodies as biomarkers of cell injury and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and cancer treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that β-catenin plays an important role in wool follicle development in transgenic sheep by enhancing the expression of keratin protein genes.

This study reported that Pantaneiro sheep from the Pantanal region of Brazil exhibit greater genetic variability and adaptability compared to the commercial Texel breed, highlighting their potential for further research and importance in Brazilian sheep farming.

This study reported that a mixture of Elaeis guineensis kernel oil, essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum, and sap of Jatropha multifida showed better wound healing properties in Girolando cattle with dermatophilosis compared to other treatments.

In this study, zinc supplementation at 2.00 g/camel/day improved hair growth in lactating camels but did not affect milk production, while for calves, doses of 0.50–0.75 g/camel/day enhanced growth and hair development.

This study identified a 582-bp deletion upstream of LHX2 in cashmere goats, likely linked to hair follicle development and cashmere production, providing insights into genetic factors in cashmere trait selection.
