This study found that melatonin-mediated lncRNA018392 accelerated cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in cashmere goat skin fibroblasts by upregulating the expression of the nearby gene CSF1R.

This study identified a new ovine KRTAP21-1 gene variant in sheep, with wool yield affected by the variant, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for improving wool production.

This study on the sheepgenomics program reported significant progress in identifying genes that can be manipulated to enhance wool production and quality in sheep.

This study suggests that the CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness in Liaoning cashmere goats, providing new insights into the cellular mechanisms of cashmere growth and quality.

Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.

This study identified genes that may regulate cashmere fineness in Liaoning Cashmere Goats by analyzing skin cell types and exploring gene expression in secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study found that wool felting in Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain sheep is linked to significant changes in fatty acid composition, particularly highlighting a decrease in 18-methyleicosanoic acid in bound lipids, suggesting it as a potential marker for cuticle lipid layer damage during felting.

This study identified several candidate genes related to wool production traits and adaptation to hot, arid environments in Iranian sheep, highlighting potential targets for future inbreeding programs.

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

This editorial discusses the need for continued research on animal fibers, highlighting recent advances in the field and the impact of economic factors favoring meat over fiber production on research volume.

This study found that the down-hair fibers of native goats in Turkey have similar characteristics to cashmere fibers, indicating potential for high-quality textile products as a substitute.

This case report describes a presumptive case of ichthyosis fetalis in a cross-bred lamb and highlights the need for this rare condition in sheep to be considered by veterinarians in the differential diagnosis of dermatopathies.

This study concluded that epidermal growth factor may induce a 'catagen-like' phase in human hair follicles by disrupting normal cellular proliferation and migration patterns.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.2 gene in Chinese Inner Mongolia cashmere goats are associated with variations in cashmere fibre diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for this trait.

This study found that flumethasone administration in Merino wethers led to variations in wool shedding and initial reductions in wool growth, with full recovery generally observed within 60 days post-treatment.

This study found that concurrent administration of cycloleucine with ethionine prevented the weakening of wool fibers in sheep, whereas reduced glutathione did not have the same effect.

This review examines the factors influencing the formation of lamb skin in Tan sheep, highlighting the role of follicle development and gene regulation but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, significant differences in the expression of type I IRS keratin genes were observed in the groins of three sheep breeds during wool growth, related to hair follicle density.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind cashmere goat coat types by analyzing gene expression during hair follicle development stages, identifying regulatory pathways involved in metabolism, immune response, and the quiescent state of follicles, potentially aiding in genetic selection for improved cashmere production.

This study successfully cloned and characterized the LEF-1 gene from Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats, potentially aiding efforts to enhance cashmere production through genetic modification.

In this study, 467 genes with differential expression between fine-wool and coarse-wool sheep, particularly those related to lipid metabolism, were identified as potentially influencing wool fibre diameter.

This study found that the finer fibers of Alpas cashmere, compared to ordinary cashmere, are associated with the down-regulation of specific keratins and keratin-associated proteins, suggesting a molecular target for breeding cashmere goats with improved fiber quality.

This study identified genomic regions and candidate genes that may contribute to phenotypic diversity in coat color, body size, cashmere traits, and high-altitude adaptation in domesticated goat breeds.

This study found that temperature affects the influence of daylength on prolactin secretion and hair growth in dairy goats, without significant involvement of melatonin.

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 case report highlights a 53-year-old woman who developed acute hepatitis after taking shou-wu-pian for eight months, suggesting that Chinese herbal preparations can sometimes cause liver damage.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of IGF-1 in transgenic mice stimulated increased vibrissa growth during the first neonatal hair cycle compared to their nontransgenic littermates.

This study found that lncRNA-000133 may play a role in secondary hair follicle reconstruction and cashmere fiber growth in goats, potentially through its interaction with the methylation of its regulatory region and dermal papilla cells.
