This study found that repeated immunization against melatonin in Australian feral goats temporarily increased cashmere production and altered growth cycles, but these effects diminished after the first year.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

This study found that variation in the ovine KRTAP27-1 gene may influence wool growth, with certain genotypes associated with higher mean staple length and greasy fleece weight in sheep.

This study found that ectopic expression of FGF5s in transgenic Chinese Merino sheep increased wool length and greasy fleece weight compared to non-transgenic controls.

This study suggests that the KAP 7 gene may serve as a potential molecular marker for genetic selection to improve staple length and greasy fleece weight in Rambouillet sheep.

Among Merino × Southdown cross sheep, this study found that certain variants of the KRT81 gene were associated with differences in fleece weight, but not with staple length or fibre diameter traits.

This study found that certain FZD3 gene variants were significantly associated with wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential as genetic markers for breeding.

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 suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study found that in semi-coarse wool sheep of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed, changes in microflora and grease composition are linked to increased felting in wool, due to wetter, more alkaline fleece conditions that promote bacterial and mold growth and alter fatty acid balances.

This study conducted a genome-wide association analysis on 1,125 ewes and identified 24 SNPs associated with wool production traits, and highlighted potential candidate genes like ADAR and TP53 for further research into the genetic mechanisms influencing wool growth in sheep.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This study identified a new gene in sheep, KRTAP36-2, discovering variants associated with wool yield. Variations in this gene were linked to the efficiency of fleece conversion from greasy to clean, which may enhance wool production.

This study applied a machine learning-based genomic analysis to identify genetic markers associated with wool traits in Central Anatolian Merino sheep, successfully highlighting loci relevant to fiber diameter, staple length, and greasy fleece yield, which could inform breeding programs to enhance wool quality and yield.

This study suggests that β-catenin plays an important role in wool follicle development in transgenic sheep by enhancing the expression of keratin protein genes.

This study identified specific genetic markers related to wool quality in Rambouillet sheep, which may aid breeders in making informed selection and breeding decisions for improved fine wool production.

This study found that polymorphisms in the KAP8.1 gene were significantly associated with cashmere weight, length, and guard hair length in Chinese Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats, but not with fibre diameter.

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

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 single-born cashmere goats had higher birth weights, pre-weaning growth rates, and superior cashmere production attributes compared to twin-born goats, despite twin-born goats achieving compensatory growth post-weaning.

This study found that in Chinese Alashan Left Banner White Cashmere goats, guard hair length was positively correlated with guard hair diameter and down fiber length, but not with body weight at first combing.

In this study, researchers identified specific gene polymorphisms in Subo Merino sheep that significantly affect wool traits, suggesting these genetic markers could aid in breeding high-quality fine-wool sheep.

This article reviews common causes of hair loss and hair excess and discusses their management in primary care settings, but it reports no new clinical results.

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

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This review summarizes the current knowledge on polycystic ovary syndrome, including its features, diagnosis, and treatment, and highlights the need for further research to fill existing knowledge gaps.

This study reports that hair fibers degrade most in acidic sandy clay, while silicone oil treatment is effective for conserving various hair types and artifacts.

This source reviews recent data on topical minoxidil, evaluating its pharmacology, mechanism of action, clinical effectiveness, and side effects in treating hair loss, although its precise mode of action remains unclear.

This study observed that feeding ewes a water-soluble complex of fatty acids increased primary hair follicle bulb diameter and mitotic activity, suggesting a positive correlation with wool growth.
