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 Some skin affection in New Valley Governorate
Over 30% of livestock in New Valley Governorate, Egypt, had skin diseases, affecting their productivity and income.
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Polyamines and hair: a couple in search of perfection
Polyamines are important for hair growth, but more research is needed to understand their functions and treatment potential.
research Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
research Veterinary Pharmacology
Some plant extracts may treat livestock diseases, certain animal treatments are safe and effective, but more research on drug safety and resistance is needed.
research Highly Conserved Keratin-Associated Protein 7-1 Gene in Yak, Taurine and Zebu Cattle
The KRTAP7-1 gene is very similar across different cattle and yak breeds and likely plays a role in hair strength and shape.
research Epidermal growth factor, but not cortisol, suppresses fibre growth in cultured follicles
Epidermal growth factor reduces hair growth, but cortisol does not.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Human hair growth in vitro: a model for the study of hair follicle biology
Human hair growth can be influenced by certain growth factors and has specific metabolic needs.
research Structure and expression of the ovine Hoxc-13 gene
The ovine Hoxc-13 gene is crucial for hair formation and may have other skin functions.
research Characterization of a gene encoding a cysteine-rich keratin associated protein synthesized late in rabbit hair follicle differentiation
A rabbit gene important for hair development was identified and detailed.
research Selection signatures for fiber production in commercial species: A review
Genomic research can help improve the quality and production of natural fibers in animals.
research FGF22 Secreted by Hair Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Follicle Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation
FGF22 helps hair follicle stem cells grow and develop.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Genome-wide association study in Japanese females identifies fifteen novel skin-related trait associations
Researchers found 15 new genetic links to skin traits in Japanese women.
research How Does pH Fit in with Oscillating Polar Growth?
pH, calcium, and reactive oxygen species regulate plant cell growth, with key roles for NADPH oxidases and plasma membrane H+-ATPases.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research A rational approach to the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome during adolescence
Diagnosing PCOS in teenagers should focus on signs of excess male hormones and not rely solely on ovarian ultrasound or irregular periods, and should be reassessed in adulthood.
research Exploring the new horizons of drug repurposing: A vital tool for turning hard work into smart work
research Maintenance of Barrier Tissue Integrity by Unconventional Lymphocytes
Unconventional lymphocytes are important for quick immune responses and healing of skin and mucosal barriers.
research Orchestration of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Inflammation During Wound Healing
Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) help in wound healing and tissue regeneration, but can also contribute to tumor growth. They show promise in treating chronic wounds and certain burns, but their full healing mechanisms and potential challenges need further exploration.
research Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
Enzymes xylanase and pectinase clean wool and specialty hair fibers effectively without damage, offering an eco-friendly alternative to soap and hot water.
