Relationship between SNPs of POU1F1 Gene and Litter Size and Growth Traits in Shaanbei White Cashmere Goats

Animals, 2019
POU (Pit-Oct-Unc) class 1 homeobox 1 (POU1F1, or Pit-1) is a transcription factor that directly regulates pituitary hormone-related genes, as well as affects the reproduction and growth in mammals.

Novel circRNAs from cashmere goats: Discovery, integrated regulatory network, and their putative roles in the regeneration and growth of secondary hair follicles

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2022
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) were identified as noncoding RNAs with covalently closed structures differing from other types of RNA molecules. It was thought that circRNAs were implicated in the development of secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats.

CircRNA-0100 positively regulates the differentiation of cashmere goat SHF-SCs into hair follicle lineage via sequestering miR-153-3p to heighten the KLF5 expression [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2022
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have stable structures, being a covalently closed loop without 5′ and 3′ free ends. They can function as “miRNA sponges” in regulating the expression of their target genes.

Progress in the application of traditional Chinese medicine and natural products for the prevention and treatment of calf diarrhea: a review

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Calf diarrhea is a common and severe disease in the livestock industry, leading to poor growth and high mortality rates in calves, thereby causing significant economic losses.

Effects of melatonin administration to cashmere goats on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics in two consecutive cashmere growth cycles [PDF]

Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 2020
Abstract Background: Short-term melatonin treatment of cashmere goats has been shown to increase the quantity and quality of cashmere fibre. However, the long-term effects of melatonin treatment on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics of these goats has not been reported.

Hormone guided estrus synchronization using progesterone sponge and PMSG in goats: a cost-effective optimization strategy

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of estrus synchronization protocols in goats and to identify the most cost-effective regimen for intensive farming. The protocols assessed used progesterone (P4) sponges or controlled internal drug release (CIDR)

Strategic Adaptation or Strategic Confusion? Fashion Organisations' Engagement With Sustainability Certifications

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite considerable costs associated with environmental certifications, fashion organisations consistently adopt multiple schemes to address sustainability challenges. As key mechanisms of sustainability governance, certifications expand legitimacy signalling opportunities, yet questions remain about their practical implementation and ...

Understanding Exosomes in Hair Regeneration

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alopecia is a prevalent condition correlated with significant psychosocial challenges, while contemporary treatments exhibit variable efficacy, require extended use, and may cause adverse effects. This review aimed to comprehensively assess exosome‐mediated interventions as a novel cell‐free regenerative approach for hair ...

SNP Discovery from Transcriptome of Cashmere Goat Skin [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
The goat Capra hircus is one of several economically important livestock in China. Advances in molecular genetics have led to the identification of several single nucleotide variation markers associated with genes affecting economic traits. Validation of single nucleotide variations in a whole-transcriptome sequencing is critical for understanding the ...
