This study suggests that the period from birth to 6 months is optimal for regulating secondary hair follicle development in cashmere goats, with specific growth factors potentially playing a regulatory role.

This study found that certain genes were significantly associated with hair length in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats, potentially serving as molecular markers for different hair types.

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.

The researchers reported that noncoding double-stranded RNA promotes wound-induced hair neogenesis in mice by modulating prostaglandin and Wnt levels.

In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

This study found that sheep possess a polymorphic KAP8-2 gene that shares high sequence identity with the KAP8-2 gene in goats and reindeer.

In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

This study suggests that the methylation degree of HOXC8 exon 1 in the hair follicle may influence cashmere fiber growth in Liaoning cashmere goats.

Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.

This study found that high wool-producing Wan Strain Angora rabbits had higher hair follicle density and identified potential regulatory long noncoding RNAs that may influence this trait.

This study revealed specific patterns and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs during the hair follicle cycle of yaks, offering insights into their sequence conservation between yaks and cashmere goats.

This study found that melatonin may enhance goat cashmere growth by activating Wnt signaling and regulating stem cell pluripotency through mechanisms involving NOGGIN and BMP4 pathways.

This report describes a case of acute liver failure linked to the use of the herbal supplement Ban Tu Wan, which highlights potential risks associated with herbal medications.

This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

This study examined gene expression in cashmere goats and identified key pathways and molecular regulators that influence hair follicle growth stages and melatonin's role in promoting cashmere growth.

This study found that continuous implantation of melatonin in cashmere goats advanced the growth cycle of cashmere by inducing secondary hair follicle development and altering gene expression.

In this study, ceruloplasmin and keratin 4 were identified as markers that differentiate between growing and resting phases in cashmere goat hair follicles, with keratin 4 being a potential marker for the onset of a new hair cycle.

This study reports that variation in the ovine TCHH gene may influence wool fibre curvature, with specific gene variants affecting the mean fibre curvature in sheep.

This study identified 53 keratins in the yak genome, predicting diverse phosphorylation sites and subcellular localizations, and highlighted strong gene expression correlations during the yak hair follicle development cycle.

This study found that in cashmere goats aged 2 to 7 years, younger goats (2-4 years) produced more cashmere and had a higher population of active secondary hair follicles than older goats (5-7 years), with the latter showing greater oxidative stress.

This review discusses selection signatures and selective sweeps in fiber-producing animals and recommends further genomic investigations to identify genes related to important fiber traits, without providing new results.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

This study found that the Yangyin Qingre Huoxue Prescription effectively reduced the progression of atherosclerosis in mice, with lipid-regulating and anti-inflammatory functions and lower hepatotoxicity than simvastatin.

This study identified 2574 differentially expressed genes in the hair follicles of Wan strain Angora rabbits, suggesting that these genes may influence wool fiber diameter and quality.

In this study, researchers investigated a regulatory network in cashmere goat embryos and found that fibroblast growth factor 10, alongside non-coding RNAs, significantly influences hair follicle cell proliferation, offering insights into the biology of hair follicles in cashmere goats.

In this study, researchers identified two genetic mutations associated with producing finer and denser wool in fine-wool sheep, involving the genes KRT74 and EDAR, which may guide future breeding efforts to enhance wool quality.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

This study found that both natural and environmental selection have significantly influenced the goat genome, revealing genetic loci tied to adaptation, fitness, and productive traits, more so than artificial selection, across various goat populations.

This study observed structural and molecular changes in Ganxi goat skin that adapt to hot and humid climates and suggested that GSDMA might play a role in hair follicle regulation and skin homeostasis, though further research is needed to confirm its function in environmental adaptation.
