Research
750-780 / 1000+ results research Hair follicle group and skin follicle population of Australian Merino sheep
Certain hair follicle traits in Merino sheep may be inherited.
research Human hair keratin network and curvature
Curly hair shape is due to uneven growth patterns in the hair follicle.
research Mode of action of mouse epidermal growth factor on the wool follicles of Merino sheep: an ultrastructural study
Mouse epidermal growth factor temporarily stops wool growth and causes cell changes in Merino sheep.
research Reduction mechanism of L ‐cysteine on keratin fibers using microspectrophotometry and Raman spectroscopy
L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.
research A Keratin Fiber Sheath
Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.
research Alignment control and softness creation in hair with glycylglycine.
Glycylglycine makes hair softer by improving alignment and changing hair's internal properties.
research Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Mechanical and biological properties of keratose biomaterials
Keratose, derived from human hair, is a non-toxic biomaterial good for tissue regeneration and integrates well with body tissues.
research Cellular Debris in the Grease of Wool Fibers
Cellular debris sticks to damaged wool fibers and affects wool cleanliness.
research The cell membrane complex: Three related but different cellular cohesion components of mammalian hair fibers
The cell membrane complex in mammalian hair has three distinct types with different structures and chemical properties.
research Arrangement of elastic fibres in the integument of domesticated mammals.
Elastic fiber arrangement in mammal skin varies by hair density and body region.
research Autosomal-Dominant Woolly Hair Resulting from Disruption of Keratin 74 (KRT74), a Potential Determinant of Human Hair Texture
A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.
research Friction and wear studies of human hair and skin
Human hair and skin friction vary by ethnicity, hair type, and environmental conditions.
research Autosomal recessive woolly hair syndrome: a series of eight patients in an Indian population
Autosomal recessive woolly hair is rare and involves tightly coiled hair without other health issues.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.
research Nutritional Factors Influencing Hair and Wool Growth
research Interactions between Crossed Hair Fibers at the Nanoscale
Hair fibers interact through classical forces, which are influenced by treatments and products, important for hair care and other applications.
research Seasonal changes in the morphology of wool follicles in Finewool and Strongwool Merino strains grazing at different stocking rates in southern Australia
Stocking rate affects wool follicle inactivity, not Merino strain.
research Analysis of the Processing Histology of Mink Skin
Improved mink skin processing can weaken hair attachment.
research Cross-linked features of mouse pelage hair resistant to detergent extraction
Some mutant mice have hair with abnormal cross-linking, mainly in the cuticle, not affecting other hair parts.
research A reciprocal lattice approach to assessing the luster of hair fibers, based on scattering by periodically deformed cylinders
A new method helps understand hair shine and various products improve hair care.
research A Missense Mutation within the Helix Termination Motif of KRT25 Causes Autosomal Dominant Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis
A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes woolly hair and hair loss.
research Mechanical Properties of Epoxy-Based Composite Reinforced with Kenaf, Grewia Serrulatta, Human Hair Fibers
research EXPRESS: Structure Evolution in Hair Fibres During Strain and the Effect of Relative Humidity

Long-haired cats have thinner skin where hair is thicker, and all have unique collagen patterns.
research The Binding of Small Molecules and Polymers to Keratin and Their Effects on the Physicochemical and Surface Properties of Hair Fibers
Certain small molecules and polymers can change hair's physical properties and how it feels by affecting the bonds within the hair.
