    TLDR lncRNA MRPS28 regulates hair follicle development in cashmere goats, affecting cashmere quality.
    The study explores the role of lncRNA MRPS28 in the development of secondary hair follicles (SHFs) in cashmere goats, which is vital for cashmere quality and yield. Researchers found that lncRNA MRPS28 acts as a sponge for chi-miR-145-5p, reducing its inhibitory effect on the NUAK1 gene. This interaction influences the proliferation and migration of dermal fibroblasts by modulating the cell cycle and apoptosis, thereby affecting SHF morphogenesis. The study highlights the lncRNA MRPS28/chi-miR-145-5p/NUAK1 signaling axis as a key regulatory network, offering potential molecular targets for enhancing cashmere production.
