This study mapped copy number variations in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying regions linked to important traits like milk production and growth, and highlighting a strong selection signal at the RXFP2 gene.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.

This study achieved over 99% antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by modifying camel hair with Rose Bengal, allowing for color customization and strong mechanical properties under visible light, thus suggesting a high-value approach to diversifying camel hair textiles.

In this study, researchers assessed wool quality in sheep and found that the Gentile di Puglia breed, a Merino-derived Italian breed, exhibits finer wool through higher secondary follicle density compared to the non-merinized Sarda breed, suggesting its potential for sustainable wool production.

This study found that in participants with notalgia paresthetica, 8 weeks of treatment with difelikefalin significantly improved itch intensity and increased the rate of strict complete response compared to placebo, starting as early as week 3.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.

Among Super Merino and Small-Tailed Han sheep, this study identified differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs linked to hair follicle growth and fiber traits, suggesting their potential roles in regulating these important wool characteristics through RNA sequencing and gene enrichment analyses.

This study describes the structural composition of the skin's dermis in experimental animals, highlighting the arrangement of collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers as well as associated glands and muscles.

In this study, differences in protein expression related to twin lambing were identified in Tibetan sheep, providing insights into the reproductive performance and fertility improvement strategy for sheep in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

This study found that steers grazing on toxic tall fescue with continuous hair growth and reduced sweating had impaired thermoregulation, leading to decreased grazing activity and poor performance.

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.

In this study, researchers observed that melatonin-mediated LncRNA MTC in Liaoning cashmere goat skin fibroblasts enhances cell proliferation by interacting with the GSTM1 protein, affecting its complex formation with ASK1 and thereby inhibiting apoptosis, which may be relevant for improving cashmere growth.

This case study describes a Lop male rabbit with Malassezia-associated dermatitis, initially treated with griseofulvin but requiring ketoconazole for complete recovery after recurrence.

This study reported that administering lufenuron to dogs and cats effectively and rapidly resolved fungal infections within about 21 days for dogs and 12 days for cats, compared to around 90 days in untreated controls.

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

This study identified expression patterns of long non-coding RNAs during the hair follicle cycle in yak, revealing potential functions and sequence conservation with cashmere goats.

In this study, researchers found that oar-miR-377 regulates secondary hair follicle development in sheep by downregulating the SLC24A2 gene, and a specific SNP in oar-miR-377 is significantly associated with wool fiber diameter variation in Chinese Merino sheep.

In this study, researchers identified and analyzed 8,753 circular RNAs in Aohan fine wool sheep, suggesting that certain circRNAs may play a crucial role in regulating wool follicle growth.

This study suggests that the LAMTOR3 gene may play a role in the development of hair follicles and cashmere growth in Liaoning cashmere goats by influencing the MAPK signaling pathway.

This study found that ancient and modern Chinese goats share close genetic ties, originating from the Fertile Crescent, with genetic divergence influenced by China's climatic divisions.

This study identified several genes and signaling pathways, such as Wnt and MAPK, involved in fur development in Chinchilla rex rabbits, providing insights into skin and hair follicle growth.

This study identified four keratin genes associated with hair follicle development that were expressed more highly in super fine wool Xinji sheep compared to fine wool sheep.

This study mapped genomic copy number variation in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying genes involved in sensory perception, nutrient metabolism, growth, and development, and highlighting significant selection on the RXFP2 gene.

This study reported advances in identifying low-abundance proteins in wool by using fractionation techniques to reduce the dominance of intermediate filament proteins, improving the understanding of the wool proteome.

In this study, researchers using Astral—DIA proteomics technology identified 67 differentially expressed proteins in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep, linking proteins like keratin and MGST3 in pathways to wool fineness regulation, particularly highlighting their association with hair follicle development.

This paper presents two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, noting challenges in monitoring due to the invasive nature of the diagnostic process.

In this study, high levels of the protein Flii in mice were associated with worsened symptoms and inflammation in ulcerative colitis, suggesting Flii may inhibit mucosal healing.

This study found that treatment with mercuric acetate modifies the elastic properties of Lincoln wool fibers more rapidly than human hair, explaining the enhanced unshrinkable quality of wool under certain conditions.

In this study, researchers identified five unique sequences of the ovine KAP13-3 gene, with potential implications for wool traits due to observed amino acid changes.

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.
