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 Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
research How different is human hair? A critical appraisal of the reported differences in global hair fibre characteristics and properties towards defining a more relevant framework for hair type classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Study on modification of rabbit hair fibers with L-cysteine
L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Effect of the Polymorphisms of Keratin Associated Protein 8.2 Gene on Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
KAP8.2 gene variations affect cashmere quality in goats.
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 Transcriptome Analysis of Improved Wool Production in Skin-Specific Transgenic Sheep Overexpressing Ovine β-Catenin
Genetically modified sheep with more β-catenin grew more wool without changing the wool's length or thickness.
research A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing
Chinese fine-wool sheep have genetic variations linked to traits like milk and health, with some genes under strong selection.
research Hair follicle characteristics and fibre production in South American camelids
South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.
research Association of the KAP 8.1 Gene Polymorphisms with Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
KAP8.1 gene variations affect cashmere weight in Inner Mongolian goats.
research Australian Hair and Wool Research Society Cutaneous Biology and Endocrinology Workshop
The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.
research Unlocking the genetic secrets of Dorper sheep: insights into wool shedding and hair follicle development
Dorper sheep's wool shedding is linked to specific genes and pathways, which may help understand human hair growth.
research Cost-effectively dissecting the genetic architecture of complex wool traits in rabbits by low-coverage sequencing
Low-coverage sequencing is a cost-effective way to identify genes related to wool traits in rabbits.
research Expression Profiling Reveals Genes Involved in the Regulation of Wool Follicle Bulb Regression and Regeneration in Sheep
The research identified genes and pathways important for sheep wool growth and shedding.
research Transcriptome sequencing reveals the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in goat skin tissues with different types of wool coats
The study identified key genes and pathways that influence goat wool quality and growth.
research Ziehl-Neelsen's stain for skin sections to show wool and hair follicles
Ziehl-Neelsen's stain helps identify different parts of hair in sheep and 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 A global analysis of CNVs in Chinese indigenous fine-wool sheep populations using whole-genome resequencing
The study found genetic variations in sheep linked to traits like milk production, growth, and health.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
research Effect of age and sex on fiber and follicle characteristics of an Iranian native sheep
As sheep age, their hair fibers and follicles grow larger and more organized, with no significant differences between males and females.
research George Ernest Rogers 1927–2021
George Ernest Rogers was a notable scientist who made important discoveries about hair and wool proteins.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Prenatal Androgenization of Ewes as a Model of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Prenatally androgenized ewes can model increased hair diameter in women with PCOS.
research Effect of melatonin administration to lactating cashmere goats on milk production of dams and on hair follicle development in their offspring
Melatonin increases cashmere quality in goats but reduces their milk production and doesn't affect their offspring's hair growth.
research Identification of skin-expressed genes possibly associated with wool growth regulation of Aohan fine wool sheep
Certain genes and proteins may influence wool growth in Aohan fine wool sheep.
research Hair, Wool, Quill, Nail, Claw, Hoof, and Horn
research The Morphological Basis of vicuña wool: Skin and gland structure in Vicugna vicugna (Molina 1782)
Vicuña wool's quality is due to a high density of fine secondary hair follicles, and their skin glands may be used for communication.
research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep—A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
