Cashmere grows from the secondary hair follicles (SHFs) that synchronously regenerate and degenerate in a circannual rhythm. Most studies examining factors related to cashmere growth have been performed on goat skin. However, the molecular properties and regulators preferentially expressed in SHFs are less clear.

With the advancement of population aging, the incidence of orthopedic diseases increases annually. The early diagnosis and precise treatment of many orthopedic diseases still require advancements in technology to address effectively. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), this technology is expected to achieve early diagnosis and improved treatment of many diseases, providing revolutionary changes in clinical.

UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) widely exist in plants and play essential roles in catalyzing the glycosylation reaction associated with metabolic processes. UGT gene family has been identified in many species to date. However, the comprehensive identification and systematic analysis have not been documented yet in the latest potato genome.

Article Synopsis
  • - Bone organoids are being developed to study bone growth and diseases, but current methods often fall short because they create simplistic structures that don't mimic real bone well or allow for proper mineralization.
  • - A new approach using 3D printing and a bioink made from bone marrow-derived stem cells aims to create more complex and functional bone structures, which can form bone tissue independently when implanted into mice.
  • - This innovative bone organoid model provides a valuable new platform for researchers to investigate bone development, test therapies, and understand congenital conditions more effectively.
