Circ 0020938 inhibits hair follicle stem cells proliferation via the miR-142-5p/DSG4 axis in cashmere goats
Our study provides novel insights into the regulatory role of circRNA in HFSCs proliferation during the hair follicle cycle. The results demonstrate that circ 0020938 acts as a miRNA sponge and inhibits HFSCs proliferation through the miR-142-5p/DSG4 axis, thereby contributing to the proper progression of the hair follicle cycle.
