Melatonin’s effect on hair follicles in a goat (Capra hircus) animal model

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionMelatonin can treat androgenetic alopecia in males. Goats can be used as animal models to study melatonin treatment for human alopecia. In this study, a meta-analysis of melatonin’s effects on goat hair follicles was pursued.MethodsLiterature

Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats

Nature Communications, 2018
The sheep and goat were domesticated ~10,500 years ago in the same region of the Middle-East. Here, Alberto et al compare the genomes of wild Asiatic mouflon and Bezoar ibex with that of domestics from local, traditional and improved breeds and find ...

Optimization of B Cell Responses in Human Immune System Mice Through Organoid Based Screening

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Human immune system (HIS) mice show limited B cell responses to immunization. Using HIS mouse spleen organoids, this study identifies cytokine combinations and innate immune signals that drive human B cell expansion, differentiation, and class‐switch. Applying these signals in vivo through temporal separation enables antigen‐specific IgG responses and ...

Growth hormone gene polymorphism in domestic and wild goat breeds in Kurdistan region of Iraq using PCR-RFLP and SNP markers

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine
In Iraq generally and Kurdistan region especially, goats are an important resource for meat and milk production. It is well known that growth hormone (GH) is involved in a variety of biological activities in livestock animals, including reproduction ...

Anthropogenic events and responses to environmental stress are shaping the genomes of Ethiopian indigenous goats

Scientific Reports
Anthropological and biophysical processes have shaped livestock genomes over Millenia and can explain their current geographic distribution and genetic divergence. We analyzed 57 Ethiopian indigenous domestic goat genomes alongside 67 equivalents of east,

Fine‐Tuned Regulation of mRNA Translation and Transport by STAU2 Condensate Facilitates Neuronal Development and Plasticity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
STAU2 undergoes phase separation to form dynamic condensates that package target mRNAs and deliver them to the distal ends of growing neuronal dendrites. STAU2 condensates stabilize embedded mRNAs and repress their translation. Synaptic activity bidirectionally remodels STAU2 condensates, coordinating local translation of STAU2‐associated mRNAs ...

Dynamic Regulation of Endogenous Transcription Factor Hubs at Single‐Molecule Resolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines single‐molecule microscopy and genome editing to characterize the dynamic behaviors of endogenous oncofusion transcription factor EWS::FLI1 in Ewing sarcoma cells. EWS::FLI1 forms neomorphic hubs that dynamically assemble and dissolve. The hubs are regulated during mitosis, by RNA, and by specific chemicals.

Optimized heterologous in vitro fertilization with Iberian ibex sperm and domestic goat oocytes

Theriogenology Wild
Assisted reproductive technologies are key to maintain genetic stocks of endangered wild species, such as the Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica). Due to the low availability of ibex ovaries, heterologous in vitro fertilization (IVF) with domestic goat (Capra
