research Identification of Cashmere and Other Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
Researchers developed a method to identify animal fibers in textiles, which works on processed and blended materials.
research Integration Analysis of Transcriptome and Proteome Reveal the Mechanisms of Goat Wool Bending
The research identified key proteins and genes that may influence wool bending in goats.
research In vitro methodology, hormonal and nutritional effects and fibre production in isolated ovine and caprine anagen hair follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research Genetic variation in the ovine KAP22-1 gene and its effect on wool traits in Egyptian sheep
Certain genetic changes in the KAP22-1 gene are linked to better wool quality in Egyptian sheep.
research Identification and expression of the target gene SLC24A2 of oar-miR-377 and its novel SNPs effects on wool traits in sheep
The TT genotype of a specific SNP in sheep is linked to better wool quality.
research Expression analysis of the type I keratin protein keratin 33A in goat coat hair
Keratin 33A is a key protein in goat winter coats, especially in high-producing breeds.
research Lipid loses and barrier function modifications of the brown‐to‐white hair transition
White hair has less lipid content and absorbs water differently than brown hair.
research Effect of Nutritional Restriction on the Hair Follicles Development and Skin Transcriptome of Chinese Merino Sheep
Poor maternal nutrition can lead to fewer wool follicles in Chinese Merino sheep.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
