This study found that crossbred lambs fed liquid diets with reconstituted cow's milk initially grew wool without crimp, with crimp resuming two weeks post-weaning.

In this study, bromocriptine's inhibition of prolactin promoted secondary follicle development during anagen in cashmere goats, likely via changes in specific gene expressions, despite not affecting fiber characteristics or primary follicle activity.

This study found that melatonin treatment in adult cashmere goats increased cashmere yield and improved fibre quality without negatively affecting the hair follicle development or cashmere production in their offspring.

This study reveals that β-catenin and retinoic acid are key regulators in the gene networks controlling the fate of skin appendages, such as scales and feathers.

This study in Hexi cashmere goats found that secondary follicle activity increases with time, and Hoxc13 expression varies significantly across different growth stages, suggesting a role in follicle activity.

This study suggests melatonin may promote cashmere growth in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through the nuclear receptor RORα, with a noted mRNA expression difference in December compared to other months.

This review discusses studies on hair growth and protein synthesis in hair follicles, highlighting the differing responses of mohair and cashmere goat follicles to signaling molecules, biotin, and amino acids, but contains no new results.

This study found that melatonin treatment significantly increased wool production and hair follicle activity in German angora rabbits, with larger effects seen in defleeced animals and those treated in July.

This meta-analysis found that traditional Chinese medicine may be an effective and safe adjuvant therapy for androgenetic alopecia, improving efficacy rates and symptom scores compared to conventional medicine.

This study identified differentially expressed proteins and pathways potentially involved in wool bending in Zhongwei goats, with specific genes like COL6A1 and CRNN emerging as important candidates in this process.

In this study, researchers found that the thickness of various skin layers in Bos indicus cattle varied significantly by body region, with the neck and shoulder being thickest, and that male skin might be more suited for quality leather production compared to female skin.

This review discusses the use and sustainability challenges of luxury animal hair fibers in the fashion industry and reports no new research findings.

This study suggests that TGF-alpha may function in an autocrine or juxtacrine manner rather than promoting cell proliferation during hair growth cycles in ferrets and sheep.

This study demonstrated that both classical and atypical BSE strains from cattle can be transmitted to goats, highlighting the importance of surveillance in protecting public health.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

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 study found significant differences in alopecia rates among rhesus macaques based on their previous housing facilities, suggesting that factors beyond current environment may influence alopecia.

This study identified 417 genes with differential expression at varying stages of cashmere growth in goats, highlighting their potential role in tissue remodeling and cashmere regeneration.

Improving knowledge and practices in animal fibre production is crucial to meet market demands and potentially revive natural fibres.

This study identified key genes and signaling pathways involved in cashmere goat hair follicle growth cycles, influenced by melatonin implantation, suggesting a basis for further research on melatonin's regulatory mechanism.

This study reported that molecules from Zebrafish embryo cell differentiation can counteract neurodegeneration, regenerate tissues, and potentially reverse hair follicle damage in androgenetic alopecia.

This study investigated the genetic basis of coat color variation in cattle using skin transcriptome and whole-genome analyses, identifying the ASIP gene as a significant determinant that is differentially expressed and under strong positive selection in black and brown cattle breeds.

This study found that cashmere has a significantly smaller mean fiber diameter compared to sheep and goat wool, and identified key proteins that may influence this difference.

In this study, the expression of certain hair follicle-related genes differed between growth phases in Angora goats, with HOXC13 showing overexpression during the anagen phase, potentially influencing the mohair's shine and texture.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

Polyethylene alanine caused hair loss in young lab animals but not in adults, with hair regrowth occurring within 20 days.

This study found that mink pelts with "singe" and "red hip" defects often exhibit split hair tips and altered cuticle structures, which may contribute to their undesired metallic sheen.

In this study conducted in Nyala, Sudan, researchers assessed welfare issues in Friesian dairy cows and found significant concerns, including injuries, ectoparasites, unclean coats, and poor health status affecting a large portion of cows; they recommend improved education and veterinary services to enhance cattle wellbeing.

This study found that cyclophosphamide treatment in cashmere goats significantly increased cashmere yield by inducing shedding without affecting fiber length, with a 20 mg/kg body weight dose being optimal for hair removal and regrowth.

This review discusses updated guidance on treating scalp ringworm in children, emphasizing newer antifungal drugs, but does not report new clinical results.
