research An Updated Nomenclature for Keratin-Associated Proteins (KAPs)
The document introduced a new naming system for keratin-associated proteins to improve clarity and communication across species.
research The zombie commodity: hair and the politics of its globalization
The article concludes that the global hair trade is exploitative and reflects complex cultural and economic issues.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Genome scan for signatures of adaptive evolution in wild African goat (capra nubiana)
Wild African goats have genetic adaptations for surviving harsh desert conditions.
research Effect of Temperature and Humidity on Mechanical Properties of Rabbit Hair Fibers
Higher temperatures improve rabbit hair strength up to 50°C, but moisture weakens it.

Single-cell transcriptomics helps improve animal health and productivity by studying gene expression in individual cells.
research Proteomic Analysis of Crimped and Straight Wool in Chinese Tan Sheep
Crimped wool has proteins linked to crimp formation, while straight wool has proteins linked to fiber fineness, which can improve wool quality and value.
research Expression levels of lncRNAs PCAT1 and HOTAIR in patients with androgenic alopecia: a case-control study
PCAT1 and HOTAIR levels are lower in people with androgenic alopecia.
research The heart of the hair fiber: How the inner structure of the coat reflects adaptive variation across color, sex, age, and body region in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)
Camel hair structure, not color, helps camels stay cool in the desert.
research TAZ enhances the activity of the AKT signaling pathway to promote adipogenesis of gADSCs
TAZ boosts fat cell formation in goat stem cells by activating a specific signaling pathway.
research Study on the expression patterns of inner root sheath-specific genes in Tan sheep hair follicle during different developmental stages
IRS-specific genes in Tan sheep hair follicles peak at birth and may affect wool crimp.
research Effects of different concentrations of androgens on KAP24.1 gene expression in Hetian sheep and Karakul sheep
Different androgen concentrations affect wool-related gene expression differently in Hetian and Karakul sheep breeds.
research Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep—A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
research Sex Identification of Feather Color in Geese and the Expression of Melanin in Embryonic Dorsal Skin Feather Follicles
Female goslings have darker feathers than males due to more melanin.
research Genomic prediction and genome-wide association studies of morphological traits and distraction index in Korean Sapsaree dogs
Genomic prediction can improve breeding strategies for Korean Sapsaree dogs.
research Two mutations at KRT74 and EDAR synergistically drive the fine-wool production in Chinese sheep
Two mutations in KRT74 and EDAR genes cause sheep to have finer wool.
research Identification of llama KRTAP7-1 and KRTAP8-1 fiber genes and polymorphism screening
