research Microflora and grease fleece of normal and felted wool sheep of Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed
Felted wool in these sheep has more sweat and bacteria, altering its fatty acids and making it more prone to felting.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins
Sheet formation is key to macrofibril structure differences in wool.
research Keratin Gene Expression in Wool Fibre Development
Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
research m6A Methylation Analysis Reveals Networks and Key Genes Underlying the Coarse and Fine Wool Traits in a Full-sib Merino Family
Key genes and pathways influence wool traits in Merino sheep.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Features of the fatty acid profile of down and guard fibers of felted wool of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain sheep breed
Felting wool changes its fatty acid makeup, affecting its structure and water resistance.
research The Morphological Basis of vicuña wool: Skin and gland structure in Vicugna vicugna (Molina 1782)

research The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Effect of age and sex on fiber and follicle characteristics of an Iranian native sheep
As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.
research Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research Environmentally independent histological markers of wool quality: a comparative study of Gentile di Puglia and Sarda breeds
Gentile di Puglia sheep have finer wool and more lanolin than Sarda sheep.
research Histological structure and ultrastructure of Tianzhu white yak hair
Tianzhu white yak hair varies in structure and density between fuzz and coarse hair.
