De Novo Transcriptome Assembly and Differential Gene Expression Profiling of Three Capra hircus Skin Types during Anagen of the Hair Growth Cycle

International Journal of Genomics, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Despite that goat is one of the best nonmodel systems for villus growth studies and hair biology, limited gene resources associated with skin or hair follicles are available. In the present study, using Illumina/Solexa sequencing technology, we de novo assembled 130 million mRNA‐Seq reads into a total of 49,115 contigs.

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

Identification of key pathways and genes that regulate cashmere development in cashmere goats mediated by exogenous melatonin

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The growth of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats follows a seasonal cycle. Melatonin can regulate the cycle of cashmere growth. In this study, melatonin was implanted into live cashmere goats.

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 ...
