Editing the FGF5 gene in sheep increases fine wool growth.
research Crosstalk Between Androgen and Wnt/β-Catenin Leads to Changes in Wool Density in FGF5-Knockout Sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research MiR-27a Targeting PIK3R3 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Sheep Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Blocking miR-27a increases sheep hair follicle stem cell growth and decreases cell death, which could help improve wool quality and treat hair loss.
research Effects of Short Photoperiod on Cashmere Growth, Hormone Concentrations and Hair Follicle Development-Related Gene Expression in Cashmere Goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
