research Effects of KRTAP20-1 Gene Variation on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Variant G of the KRTAP20-1 gene improves wool curliness in Chinese Tan sheep.
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 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 Scanning Electron Microscopic Study on Collagen Fibrils in the Mink Dermis during the Hair Cycle and Growth
Collagen fibrils in mink skin change structure during hair growth, becoming looser and thicker in the active phase.
research Variation in the ovine trichohyalin gene and its association with wool curvature
Variation in the TCHH gene affects wool curliness in sheep.
research Hair Follicle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes That Regulate Wool Fiber Diameter in Angora Rabbits
Genes affecting wool fiber thickness in Angora rabbits were identified, which could help breed finer wool.
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 DKK4 as a novel candidate marker for Zhexi Angora rabbit wool quality
DKK4 can be used to improve wool quality in Zhexi Angora rabbits.
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 Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Variation in the ovine keratin-associated protein 15-1 gene affects wool yield
Genetic variation in the KRTAP15-1 gene affects wool yield in sheep.
research Chronological ageing of human hair keratin fibres
Hair ages as the cuticle wears down, especially beyond 1 meter from the root, affecting its strength and shine.
research Secondary structure estimation and properties analysis of stretched Asian and Caucasian hair
Stretching damages Caucasian hair's structure more easily than Asian hair.
research Characterisation of an Ovine Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) Gene, Which Would Produce a Protein Rich in Glycine and Tyrosine, but Lacking in Cysteine
A new sheep gene, KRTAP36-1, may help breed sheep with better wool by reducing prickle factor.
research Comprehensive analysis of the circular RNA expression profile and circRNA–miRNA–mRNA network in the goat skin with divergent wool curvature
Certain circular RNAs are crucial for wool growth and curvature in goats.
research Integrative analysis of Iso-Seq and RNA-seq data reveals transcriptome complexity and differential isoform in skin tissues of different hair length Yak
Different genes affect hair length in yaks.
research Screening and Expression of Keratin EST in Xinji Fine Wool Sheep
Four keratin genes are crucial for hair growth in Xinji fine wool sheep.
research Preliminary comparison of skin transcriptome from sheep with different wool fibre diameters
Lipid metabolism affects wool fiber diameter in sheep.
research Expression patterns of keratin intermediate filament and keratin associated protein genes in wool follicles
Gene expression in wool follicles changes with growth cycles, offering insights into wool and human hair growth.
research A Study of Combined Genotype Effects of SHCBP1 on Wool Quality Traits in Chinese Merino
research Assessing protein sequencing in human single hair shafts of decreasing lengths
Hair keratin proteins can be reliably identified in hair as short as 0.12 cm, with 0.5 to 2 cm being the best length for analysis.
research Distinguishing Androgenetic Alopecia From Chronic Telogen Effluvium When Associated in the Same Patient
Shorter, thinner hairs indicate AGA, while longer, thicker hairs suggest CTE; counting and measuring shed hairs helps diagnose hair loss type.
research Regulation of melanin synthesis in goat hair follicles by melatonin through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway
research Association analysis of polymorphisms in six keratin genes with wool traits in sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.
research Transcriptome meta-analysis reveals the hair genetic rules in six animal breeds and genes associated with wool fineness
Different sheep breeds share similar genetic factors affecting wool fineness.
research Ectopic expression of FGF5s induces wool growth in Chinese merino sheep
Overexpression of FGF5s makes Chinese Merino sheep grow longer and heavier wool.
research Curl secret in cells
Hair curliness is caused by the arrangement and length of two different cell types.
research Histological structure and ultrastructure of Tianzhu white yak hair
Tianzhu white yak hair varies in structure and density between fuzz and coarse hair.
