research Cashmere growth control in Liaoning cashmere goat by ovarian carcinoma immunoreactive antigen-like protein 2 and decorin genes
OCIAD2 and DCN genes affect hair growth in goats by having opposite effects on a growth signaling pathway and inhibiting each other.
research Evaluation of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride on reproduction and gonadal development in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Expression of the RORα gene in Inner Mongolian cashmere goat hair follicles
The RORα gene is active in different parts of cashmere goat hair follicles and may be influenced by melatonin, especially in December when hair growth changes.
research A new locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex maps to chromosome 13q12.12∼12.3 in a Chinese family
A new genetic area linked to a rare hair loss condition was found on chromosome 13 in a Chinese family.
research Polymorphisms and association of FAT1 gene with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep
