Transcriptome sequencing reveals differences between primary and secondary hair follicle-derived dermal papilla cells of the Cashmere goat (Capra hircus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The dermal papilla is thought to establish the character and control the size of hair follicles. Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats (Capra hircus) have a double coat comprising the primary and secondary hair follicles, which have dramatically different sizes ...

BLOC1S1 Attenuates B. Melitensis 16M LPS‐Triggered Autophagy by Spatial Confinement of TDP‐43

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
This study explores how B. melitensis 16M LPS and BLOC1S1 regulate autophagy in goat spermatogonial stem cells. The 16M LPS is activating AMPK‐dependent autophagy, increasing LC3B‐II/I ratios and lysosomal genes, while Escherichia coli LPS shows no effect.

Integrating land sharing and sparing paradigms in grassland ecology: A perspective on balancing livestock production and biodiversity

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 389-395, December 2025.
This study explores how dispersed grazing (grassland sharing) enhances biodiversity and ecosystem health compared to concentrated grazing (grassland sparing) in Inner Mongolia's grasslands, balancing livestock production with conservation. Abstract The increasing global demand for livestock products (meat, milk, and wool) drives overgrazing, leading to

Human Health, Ecosystem Quality, and Resource Scarcity Burdens Inflicted by Livestock Production Across Chinese Regions

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Surge in global population and shift toward animal‐based diets have accelerated expansion of livestock production, posing various environmental challenges. It requires inventorying localized, activity‐specific, and indicator‐extended multidimensional eco‐environmental burdens and revealing their transfers within interregional trade to inform ...

Exploring differentially expressed genes between anagen and telogen secondary hair follicle stem cells from the Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) by RNA-Seq.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) have been shown to be essential in the development and regeneration of hair follicles (HFs). The Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) has two types of HFs, primary and secondary, with cashmere being produced from ...

Genomic Inbreeding and Runs of Homozygosity Analysis of Cashmere Goat

Animals
Cashmere goats are valuable genetic resources which are famous worldwide for their high-quality fiber. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) have been identified as an efficient tool to assess inbreeding level and identify related genes under selection.
