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 …

Previous molecular genetic studies of the goat hair life cycle have focused primarily on a
limited number of genes and proteins. To identify additional genes that may play important …

Capra hircus, an economically important livestock, plays an indispensable role in the world
animal fiber industry. In the present study, using Illumina/Solexa high throughput …

Cashmere goat (Capra hircus) hair follicle development and cycling can be divided into
three stages: anagen, catagen and telogen. To elucidate the genes involved in hair follicle …

Cashmere, also known as soft gold, is produced from the secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of
cashmere goats. The number of SHFs determines the yield and quality of cashmere; …

Simple Summary Yaks can grow in extremely harsh natural environmental conditions, such
as high altitude, low temperature, and hypoxia, and hair plays an important role. As an …

Background As the direct organ of villus, hair follicles have obvious seasonal cycles. The
hair follicle cycle is orchestrated by multiple cell types that together direct cell renewal and …

Background Mammalian hair play an important role in mammals' ability to adapt to changing
climatic environments. The seasonal circulation of yak hair helps them adapt to high altitude …

Dermal papilla is considered the control center of hair follicle growth and hair cycle. The
secondary hair follicle (producing cashmere) growth cycle of the Cashmere goat (Capra …

The hair follicle is a complex mini-organ in the skin that undergoes organ induction,
morphogenesis, and regeneration. However, the accurate molecular mechanism of skin and …
