This study concluded that thyroid atrophy, alopecia, and hyperkeratosis in sheep are associated with deficiencies in selenium and zinc in serum and liver.

This study found that adding sheep wool to soil can increase water retention and delay drought stress in red clover, although further research is needed to confirm these effects under field conditions.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of a sheep with ovine bacterial dermatitis, emphasizing the importance of laboratory confirmation and antimicrobial susceptibility-guided therapy, which led to complete clinical recovery within three weeks.

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.

In this study on fine-wool sheep, researchers found that overexpressing the TGFBR1 gene decreased proliferation of dermal papilla cells by influencing multiple signaling pathways, suggesting TGFBR1 as a negative regulator in hair follicle development.

In this study, researchers found that patients undergoing one-anastomosis gastric bypass experienced a greater incidence of low serum zinc levels and related symptoms, such as hair loss and delayed wound healing, compared to those undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

This study concluded that mineral deficiencies in sheep and goats grazing in Sana’a Governorate, Yemen, were linked to poor health and performance, recommending mineral supplementation to improve their condition.

In this study, researchers analyzed 24 European Merino sheep populations to investigate genetic adaptations to climate, identifying 168 significant SNPs and related genes associated with temperature variation and environmental adaptation, focusing on traits like isothermality and pathways related to immune response and system development.

This study established a predictive model for water intake in hair sheep, finding significant associations with dry matter and its intake but not with sex classes, suggesting a more accurate and efficient way to predict and manage water use in these animals.

This study successfully established a functionally stable immortalized sheep granulosa cell line (GCs-SV40T-GFP) that can passaged up to 50 generations, maintaining morphological stability and estradiol secretion, offering a valuable model for research into animal reproductive function and hormone regulation.

In this study, researchers using Astral—DIA proteomics technology identified 67 differentially expressed proteins in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep, linking proteins like keratin and MGST3 in pathways to wool fineness regulation, particularly highlighting their association with hair follicle development.

This study in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep identified two SNPs in the KRT71 gene that significantly affect wool length, with distinct expression patterns observed in hair follicles, suggesting KRT71 as a candidate gene for enhancing wool production traits.

This research explores the use of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy to model the complex architecture of sheep wool fibres, focusing on the role and distribution of para- and ortho-cortical cells in determining wool curliness, though the mechanism remains unclear.

This study developed a prediction model using data from 185 hair sheep, finding that daily water intake is best predicted by dry matter intake and establishing a widely applicable equation for these animals, validated to enhance the efficient use of water.

In this study, researchers described dermatophylosis in sheep from Northeast Brazil, observing sporadic cases marked by alopecic and crusty skin lesions, affecting both adult males and females primarily in April, June, and November.

This study analyzed the genetic variations of the KAP20-1 gene in Chinese Tan sheep lambs and found that the G variant was linked to an increased mean fibre curvature in their fine wool fibres, potentially influencing breeding strategies for this wool trait.

This study found that in sheep, the microRNA oar-miR-377 regulates hair follicle development by targeting the SLC24A2 gene, and identified a genetic variation associated with wool quality, suggesting potential markers for breeding.

Among Super Merino and Small-Tailed Han sheep, this study identified differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs and mRNAs linked to hair follicle growth and fiber traits, suggesting their potential roles in regulating these important wool characteristics through RNA sequencing and gene enrichment analyses.

In this study, researchers analyzed the skin proteome of Alpine Merino sheep to identify proteins and pathways related to wool fiber diameter, finding that cyclic adenosine monophosphate and certain signaling pathways may play a role in this trait.

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 feeding sheep rations with up to 30% Leucaena leucocephala leaf meal did not significantly affect mimosine concentrations or alter blood metabolites and thyroid hormones, suggesting it can be used without detrimental effects in these aspects.

This study found that the sheep high-sulfur keratin promoter B2C initiated GFP expression in sheep fibroblasts but remained inactive in mouse embryos.

This study found that treating sheep hair follicles with IGFⅠ and EGF stimulated growth, with EGF also accelerating cell differentiation and altering the growth cycle.

This study found that treatment with finasteride in fetal sheep reduced the protective neurosteroid allopregnanolone, leading to increased cell death in the hippocampus following induced fetal asphyxia.

This study found that finasteride increased fetal arousal activity in late gestation sheep by suppressing pregnane steroid synthesis, suggesting reduced GABAA receptor-mediated inhibition.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced dihydrotestosterone levels but did not provide clear evidence of impaired libido or erectile function compared to placebo in men.

This study concluded that dutasteride modestly reduces nocturia in men but does not improve sleep quality.

This study found that for obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, concurrent type 2 diabetes is linked to worsened metabolic but milder reproductive aspects of PCOS and does not hinder the return to regular menstruation one year after surgery.

This study found that individuals with both schizophrenia and obesity showed reduced PER3 gene expression amplitude and lower melatonin levels compared to normal-weight controls, suggesting dampened circadian rhythms linked to irregular sleep. Hair follicle sampling was effective for assessing these molecular rhythms.
