Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis reveals molecular mechanisms of melatonin-regulated hair follicle growth in cashmere goats and comparative insights across goat breeds [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Cashmere goats are prized for their high-quality fibers, which are soft, fine, strong, and exhibit remarkable elasticity and luster. Cashmere growth occurs in secondary hair follicles and follows a distinct, periodic cycle. This study seeks to

The effects of Selenohomolanthionine supplementation on the rumen eukaryotic diversity of Shaanbei white cashmere wether goats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Selenium (Se) is an important microelement for animal health. However, the knowledge about the effects of Se supplementation on rumen eukaryotic community remains less explored. In this study, the ruminal eukaryotic diversity in three months old Shaanbei

Effects of exogenous melatonin on expressional differences of immune-related genes in cashmere goats

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The interplay between melatonin and immune system is well recognized in humans. The true integration of research on cashmere goat is still far from clear, especially for cashmere goat maintained in wool and cashmere growth.

Transcriptomes reveal microRNAs and mRNAs in different photoperiods influencing cashmere growth in goat.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Cashmere goat has a typical characteristic in seasonal growth of cashmere. Studies have shown that one of the main factors affecting the cyclical growth of the cashmere is the photoperiod, however, its molecular mechanism remains unclear.
