research Histomorphological and histochemical studies on the different layers of skin of Bakerwali goat
Bakerwali goat skin thickens with age, especially on the neck, and shows strong lipid reactions in the keratin layer.
research Histomorphological studies on the skin of camel (Camelus dromedarius) [in Bangladesh]
Camel skin has typical mammalian layers, with hair follicles, glands, and muscles, varying by body area.
research Heterozygous COL5A1 deletion in a cat with classical Ehlers–Danlos syndrome
A cat's poor wound healing was linked to a genetic deletion in the COL5A1 gene.
research Expression of lipid-protein gene PLP2 in Liaoning cashmere goat

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 Effect of Injecting Melatonin Capsules on Growth of Skin Follicle of Longdong Cashmere Goats
Injecting melatonin improves cashmere yield by enhancing fiber growth in goats.
research Age-Related Variations in the Population of Active Secondary Hair Follicles, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Parameters in Cashmere Goats
Younger cashmere goats produce more and better-quality fiber due to higher active hair follicles and antioxidant capacity.
research Phenotypic Correlation between Guard Hair and Down Hair in Chinese Alashan Left Banner White Cashmere Goat: A Preliminary Study
Guard hair length is positively correlated with guard hair diameter and down fiber length, but negatively correlated with variation in guard hair diameter and down fiber diameter.
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 Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
Feed restriction in sheep leads to finer wool fibers but may reduce wool quality.
research Seasonal variation in hair follicle activity and fibre growth of both male and female Merghoz goats in Western Iran
Goat hair growth and follicle activity change with the seasons and differ between males and females.
research Animal models of alopecia
The best animal model for studying male-pattern baldness is the stumptailed macaque, not rats or mice.
research Wetting behavior of human hair fibers
Human hair's ability to get wet is complex and can change with treatments, damage, and environment.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
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.
