February 2025 in “BMC Veterinary Research” This study on Inner Mongolia cashmere goats used SWATH mass spectrometry to analyze skin samples during the anagen and telogen stages of hair growth, identifying 2,414 proteins with 631 showing differential regulation. Key findings include the significant role of keratin proteins, particularly KRT25, KRT71, and KRT82, in secondary hair follicle growth. The study highlighted pathways related to metabolism, fatty acid degradation, and hair follicle growth, such as TGF-beta, VEGF, and Wnt signaling. The research involved three 2-year-old female goats and provides insights into the biological processes governing hair follicle development, with implications for improving cashmere production.
