research The medusa head: Dermoscopic diagnosis of woolly hair syndrome
A man with Woolly Hair Syndrome had very curly, fragile hair, and doctors used a special scalp examination to diagnose him without invasive tests.
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 Wool and Hair Waste as Nutrient Source for High-value Crops
Adding wool or hair waste to soil boosts crop yields and nutrient levels.
research Metallothionein expression during wool follicle development in foetal sheep
Metallothionein likely helps in cell growth and development in wool follicles of fetal sheep.
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 Exploring Variation in Ovine KRTAP19-5 and Its Effect on Fine Wool Fibre Curvature in Chinese Tan Sheep
The KRTAP19-5 gene affects wool curvature in Chinese Tan sheep, with Variant B reducing curvature.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
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 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 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 Identification of factors contributing to phenotypic divergence via quantitative image analyses of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with homozygous c.736T>ALIPH mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Increasing GSH-Px Activity and Activating Wnt Pathway Promote Fine Wool Growth in FGF5-Edited Sheep
Editing the FGF5 gene in sheep increases fine wool growth.
research Production and Characterization of Wool and Hair Fibers in Highlands of Baluchistan, an Economic and Sustainable Approach for Pakistan
Improving skills and technology in Baluchistan's wool industry could boost quality, jobs, and Pakistan's economy.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 26-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
Selecting specific KRTAP26-1 gene variants can improve wool quality in sheep.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Ovine KRT81 Variants and Their Influence on Selected Wool Traits of Commercial Value
KRT81 gene variations in sheep affect wool weight but not fiber length or thickness.
research Ovine KRTAP36-2: A New Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Related to Variation in Wool Yield
The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.
research Localization of Zinc in a Dense Fiber-Connecting Piece Fraction of Rat Sperm Tails Analogous Chemically to Hair Keratin
Most zinc in rat sperm is in the tail, linked to structures similar to hair keratin.
research Effects of short photoperiod on cashmere growth, hormone concentrations and hair follicle development-related gene expression in cashmere goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
research miR-27a Targeting PIK3R3 Regulates the Proliferation and Apoptosis of Sheep Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Blocking miR-27a increases sheep hair follicle stem cell growth and decreases cell death, which could help improve wool quality and treat hair loss.
research Mitotic processes in hair follicles and the morphostructure of sheep skin upon inclusion of a water-soluble fatty acid complex into their diets
Adding a water-soluble fatty acid complex to sheep diets improves wool growth by increasing primary hair follicle size and density.
research Pathological and Biochemical Studies on Experimental Hypothyroidism in Growing Lambs
Iodine deficiency in lambs causes poor growth, less wool, and delayed sexual maturity.
research Regulation of a hair follicle keratin intermediate filament gene promoter
The LEF-1 binding site enhances gene expression in hair follicles, with other proteins aiding specific regulation.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Regulation of Hair Follicle Growth and Development by Different Alternative Spliceosomes of FGF5 in Rabbits
FGF5 spliceosomes inhibit rabbit hair growth by affecting gene expression.
