660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch An integrated genomics approach to improving wool productivity and quality
Identifying and manipulating key genes can improve wool quality and productivity in sheep.
research Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) Skin Analyzed Under Architecture and Structure
Alpaca skin has glands, hair follicles, and different collagen types.
research Keratin Gene Expression in Wool Fibre Development
Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
research The sheep KAP8-2 gene, a new KAP8 family member that is absent in humans
Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
research Validation of a skin and coat scoring protocol in dogs
The protocol is easy to use, but reliable results need the same person to assess each time.
research Porosity at Different Structural Levels in Human and Yak Belly Hair and Its Effect on Hair Dyeing
Yak belly hair has higher porosity and is less stiff than human hair, making it absorb dye better but less suitable as a direct substitute for hair dyeing.
research Variation in the Exon 3–4 Region of Ovine KRT85 and Its Effect on Wool Traits
KRT85 gene variations can help improve wool traits in sheep through selective breeding.
research Quality Of Life In Nepalese Patients With Alopecia: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study At A Tertiary Center (Preprint)
Nepalese patients with alopecia have a lower quality of life.
research Variation in the ovine trichohyalin gene and its association with wool curvature
Variation in the TCHH gene affects wool curliness in sheep.
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 Assessment of Poplar Seed Hair Fibers as a Potential Bulk Textile Thermal Insulation Material
Poplar seed hair fibers could be an eco-friendly insulation for textiles.
research Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Delipidised wool is brighter, dyes better, and is more eco-friendly.
research Understanding Curly Hair Mechanics: Fiber Strength
Curly hair is mechanically different from straight hair and may need new testing methods.
research Analysis of LncRNA and mRNA Expression Profiles in Skin Tissues of Super Merino Sheep and Small-Tailed Han Sheep
Researchers found genes in sheep that may affect hair growth and wool quality.
research Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24‐1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
The research identified a gene in sheep important for wool quality, which could help improve wool traits.
research The mechanism of m6A methylation analysis of the transcriptome to regulate the diameter of Alpine Merino wool fiber
m6A methylation affects the thickness of Alpine Merino wool fibers.
research Morphological features of the general cover in long-haired cat breeds
Long-haired cats have thinner skin where hair is thicker, and all have unique collagen patterns.
research Quantifying whole human hair scalp fibres of varying curl: A micro‐computed tomographic study
Human hair varies in structure based on curl type, with high curl hair showing the most differences.
research Analysis of the hair coat of domestic catswith special focus on histological structure
Domestic cat hair varies in thickness and length, with guard hairs being longest and thickest, and all hair types mainly contain keratin.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research Milk yield and hair coat characteristics of Holstein cows in a hot environment
research The twisting tale of woolly hair: a trait with many causes
New genes linked to woolly hair have been found, which could help treat it and change hair texture.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 22-1 (KAP22-1) Gene and Its Effect on Wool Traits
The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Variation in Ovine KRTAP13-3 and Its Association with Wool Characteristics in Chinese Tan Sheep
The KRTAP13-3 gene affects wool fibre diameter variability in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Using proteomics to compare the molecular structures of sulfide and permeate-depilated sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.
research Videodermoscopic analysis of the skin of purebred arabian horses and polish sport horses.
Horse breed significantly affects skin and hair thickness.
