Multiple potential roles of thymosin β4 in the growth and development of hair follicles

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 1350-1358, February 2021., 2021
Abstract The hair follicle (HF) is an important mini‐organ of the skin, composed of many types of cells. Dermal papilla cells are important signalling components that guide the proliferation, upward migration and differentiation of HF stem cell progenitor cells to form other types of HF cells.

Melatonin Regulates the Periodic Growth of Cashmere by Upregulating the Expression of Wnt10b and β-catenin in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Secondary hair follicle growth in cashmere goats has seasonal cycle changes, and melatonin (MT) has a regulatory effect on the cashmere growth cycle. In this study, the growth length of cashmere was measured by implanting MT in live cashmere goats. The results indicated that the continuous implantation of MT promoted cashmere to enter the anagen 2 ...

Label-free proteomics to identify keratins and keratin-associated proteins and their effects on the fleece traits of Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2023
Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat fleece is derived from a heterogeneous coat. The guard hair is produced by primary hair follicles, and the down hair is produced by secondary hair follicles.

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.

Short communication: Melatonin implantation during the non-growing period of cashmere increases the cashmere yield of female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats by increasing fiber length and density [PDF]

, 2018
This study aimed to evaluate if melatonin implantation at the end of April and June was able to increase cashmere production in female Inner Mongolian cashmere goats and to search for contributing factors accounting for the melatonin increasing in ...

Genetic Signatures of Selection for Cashmere Traits in Chinese Goats

Animals, 2020
Inner Mongolia and Liaoning cashmere goats in China are well-known for their cashmere quality and yield. Thus, they are great models for identifying genomic regions associated with cashmere traits.

Construction and functional analysis of ceRNA regulatory network related to the development of secondary hair follicles in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Cashmere goat hair follicles are divided into primary hair follicles and secondary hair follicles. The primary hair follicles produce coarse hair, and the secondary hair follicles produce cashmere.

Polymorphisms in the ASMT and ADAMTS1 gene may increase litter size in goats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 775-787, November 2020., 2020
ASMT (acetylserotonin O‐methyltransferase) and ADAMTS1 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif) are very important for female and animal reproduction. One mutation (g.158122T>C) of ASMT gene and one mutation (g.7979477C>T) of ADAMTS1 gene were found in goats in this study, and the association between polymorphisms of ASMT or ADAMTS1 ...
