research Number changes and development potential of wool follicle cells in the early stages of fiber differentiation
Wool follicle cells are more complex than previously thought.
research Integrative Phenotypic and Transcriptomic Dynamics of Hair Follicle Development and Fur Quality in Rex Rabbits
This study investigates the development of hair follicles and fur quality in Yongqing Rex rabbits from 1 to 6 months of age, using phenotypic measurements, histomorphology, and transcriptome sequencing. The study involved 10 rabbits per month. Fur thickness showed a pattern of increase, stabilization, and subsequent increase, while coat density peaked at 6 months. Fiber length plateaued after an initial increase, and hair diameter followed an increase-decrease-stabilization pattern. A significant decrease in follicle clusters was observed from 1 to 3 months, with primary hair follicle density highest at 1 month and secondary follicle density increasing continuously. Melanin granules peaked at 4 months. Transcriptomic analysis identified thousands of differentially expressed genes, with significant enrichment in processes like keratinization and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. These findings provide insights into the genetic regulation of fur quality in Rex rabbits.
