February 2025 in “BMC Genomics” This study found that in cashmere goats, melatonin treatments enhanced cashmere growth by stimulating secondary hair follicles, increasing follicle density, and improving yield and quality, highlighting key genes and metabolic pathways involved in this process.
October 2023 in “Cell & bioscience” This study identified a primitive coarse wool characteristic in Merino sheep that enhances environmental adaptability and fine wool yield without reducing quality, suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms, particularly involving the imprinted Gtl2-miRNAs locus, regulate this advantageous trait.
This study observed that cashmere production and secondary hair follicle activity in Inner Mongolian ewe goats showed age-related differences, with younger goats (aged 2-4 years) having greater production and follicle activity correlating positively with higher antioxidant capacity and lower oxidative stress.
October 2023 in “The American Journal of Gastroenterology” This case report describes chronic iron deficiency anemia in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting the need for more data to guide treatment and cancer surveillance due to its rarity and mortality risk.
January 2022 in “Skin appendage disorders” In this study, the researchers found that trichoscopy can effectively visualize scalp micropigmentation, identified by homogenous, grey to black circular dots similar to closely cut hair, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
This study found that melatonin promotes the growth of secondary hair follicles in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats by enhancing the activity and proliferation of dermal papilla cells through involving the Wnt10b gene, though the detailed mechanisms remain undetermined.
