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 study found that overexpression and knockdown of DKK4 influence genes involved in hair follicle growth and development in Angora rabbits and identified specific SNPs in DKK4 associated with wool quality, notably showing that the TT/GG haplotype combination relates to higher fibre diameters.

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.

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.

In this study, researchers conducted whole-genome resequencing of eight sheep breeds to identify additional genes associated with wool fineness, revealing 269 genes in fine wool and 319 in coarse wool breeds that are linked to significant traits and pathways.

This study mapped genomic copy number variation in Chinese fine-wool sheep, identifying genes involved in sensory perception, nutrient metabolism, growth, and development, and highlighting significant selection on the RXFP2 gene.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.

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.

In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

This study observed that gene expression differences in Rex rabbits with varying wool densities suggest the involvement of specific genes and signaling pathways, including Shh and Eph, in hair follicle development.

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.

This study found that the methylation level at CpG III site 4 of the KRT17 gene promoter significantly influences wool production in Angora rabbits, suggesting its potential as an epigenetic marker for breeding high wool yield.

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 used a new multimolecular spectral method to uncover structural differences in hair keratin from individuals with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy individuals, identifying potential biomarkers and providing insights for developing new treatments.

In this study, researchers found that circulating exosomes from different sheep breeds can significantly alter hair growth in mice, with the source of exosomes influencing hair follicle size and hair diameter, as well as expression of specific hair growth and melanin synthesis markers.

This research studied European human hair, finding that cysteic acid and protein carbonylation increased with both chemical and photochemical oxidation. Protein carbonylation was highlighted as a more sensitive marker for photochemical oxidation, providing better in situ visualization of hair damage than cysteic acid.

This study examined the role of long non-coding RNAs in wool fineness among Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep, identifying specific lncRNAs and target genes that may enhance wool quality.

In this study of Zhexi Angora rabbits, researchers found that the fine-wool group exhibited lower fiber diameters and a higher hair follicle density than the coarse-wool group, and they identified key candidate genes potentially regulating wool quality through RNA-seq and genome resequencing techniques.

In this study, researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit the FGF5 gene in Dorper sheep, observing increased density and finer wool, along with changes in cortisol levels and antioxidant enzyme activity linked to hair follicle development.

This study found that higher expression of the Hoxc13 gene in specific areas of hair follicles is associated with longer wool length in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize 19 distinct cell populations in sheep hair follicles, uncovering differentiation signatures and intercellular communication that may influence wool curvature and sheep breeding.

This study discovered that lambs with coarse, ancestral-like wool in a population of modern fine wool sheep exhibited overexpression of the SOSTDC1 gene, linked to epigenetic changes, which helps understand the development and diversification of wool types in sheep breeding.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

This study found that shampoo and conditioner do not alter hair's molecular structure, while perming treatments significantly affect keratin and intermediate filament structures due to bond alterations.

This study used whole-genome sequence data to identify numerous putative causal variants and genes affecting key wool traits and skin wrinkle in Merino sheep, highlighting their polygenic and pleiotropic nature.

This study investigated circRNA expression in Zhongwei goat skin at different growth stages and found that certain circRNAs, such as circRNA8782 and circRNA3173, may play roles in regulating wool curvature by affecting signaling pathways and fibroblast proliferation.

In this study, researchers found that the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene (KRTAP36-1) allele C is linked to variations in mean fibre curvature of fine wool in Chinese Tan lambs, suggesting its role in their distinctive curly coat.
