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 ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Ovine KRTAP36-2: A New Keratin-Associated Protein Gene Related to Variation in Wool Yield

research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.
research The Administration of Flumethasone, by Three Different Routes, its Measurement in the Plasma and Some Effects on Wool Growth in Merino Wethers
Flumethasone causes wool shedding in Merino wethers, with recovery in about 60 days.
research Discovery of genes and proteins possibly regulating mean wool fibre diameter using cDNA microarray and proteomic approaches
Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
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.
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 Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
