This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

This study found that specific gene expressions during different stages of hair follicle development in Merino sheep are linked to wool-related traits, and may also be relevant to human skin, metabolic, and immune traits.

This study found that conditioned medium from keratinocytes improved the hair-inductive properties of cultured dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential for enhancing hair follicle regeneration.

This study examined vicuña skin and hair follicle structures, finding a high density of secondary hairs in fleece areas compared to belly and legs, and identified various types of cutaneous glands potentially important for chemical communication.

This review examines over 271 candidate genes associated with economic traits in goats, highlighting their potential use in genetic markers and future breeding programs, and reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that the period from birth to 6 months is optimal for regulating secondary hair follicle development in cashmere goats, with specific growth factors potentially playing a regulatory role.

This study found that integrating breed-specific BOA and SNP-based models helps reveal the genetic factors involved in thermotolerance traits in beef cattle, enhancing insights into thermoregulation and potentially improving cattle's heat resilience.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

This study identified several candidate genes related to wool production traits and adaptation to hot, arid environments in Iranian sheep, highlighting potential targets for future inbreeding programs.

This study found that maize root hairs respond differently to cold stress based on severity, with mild cold allowing limited growth through adaptive remodeling, while severe cold causes more pronounced inhibition and prioritizes stress defense, affecting transcriptome and morphology.

This study investigated the expression of KRTAP6 gene family in Gansu Alpine fine-wool sheep, finding significant expression during the anagen phase and a negative correlation between KRTAP6-1 and KRTAP6-5 expressions with wool fiber diameter and strength.

This review discusses how sex-limited chromosomes can affect non-reproductive traits in various sex determination systems and reports no new empirical results.

In this study, researchers identified six unique genetic variants of a sheep gene, KRTAP19-3, with specific variants linked to changes in wool fibre traits, such as increased fibre diameter variability, suggesting these genetic differences affect wool characteristics in Chinese Tan sheep.

This review summarizes how single-cell omics technologies have advanced understanding of cellular regulatory programs in sheep and goats, but highlights limitations in genomic annotation and integration with population genetics for molecular breeding.

This study examined genetic adaptations in Tibetan sheep through whole-genome resequencing, identifying key genes related to hypoxia tolerance, wool color, and body size. These findings provide a foundation for future molecular breeding strategies to enhance wool quality and adaptive traits in these high-altitude environments.

This study found that both natural and environmental selection have significantly influenced the goat genome, revealing genetic loci tied to adaptation, fitness, and productive traits, more so than artificial selection, across various goat populations.

This study compared RNA-seq results from horse plucked-hair and skin-biopsy samples, finding that plucked hairs were enriched with hair-follicle keratinocytes, while biopsies showed enrichment for other cell types.

This study found significant differences in hair traits among scalp, axillary, and pubic hair in Bengalee Hindu caste females, suggesting these variations could aid in forensic personal identification.
