research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Whole-genome sequencing of eight goat populations for the detection of selection signatures underlying production and adaptive traits
Researchers identified genes linked to coat color, body size, cashmere production, and high altitude adaptation in goats.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research A Microarray-Based Analysis Reveals that a Short Photoperiod Promotes Hair Growth in the Arbas Cashmere Goat
Shorter daylight increases hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and might help treat skin diseases, but more research is needed to understand their effects fully.
research Oral zinc sulphate causes murine hair hypopigmentation and is a potent inhibitor of eumelanogenesisin vivo
Oral zinc sulphate reduces dark hair color in mice.
research Thyroid Hormone and Wound Healing
Thyroid hormone may speed up wound healing and hair growth, but more research is needed to understand its role in skin repair and use as a treatment.
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 Thyroid hormone action on skin.
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research Llama Dermatology
Llamas often have skin issues like mange, bacterial infections, and allergies, with some treatable by zinc.
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 Chapter 4 Cytomechanics of Hair
Hair's strength and flexibility come from its protein structure and molecular interactions.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Effects of photoperiod on nutrient digestibility, hair follicle activity and cashmere quality in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats
Short daily photoperiods improve cashmere production in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats.
research Effects of different dietary protein levels and DL‐methionine supplementation on hair growth and pelt quality in mink (Neovision vision)
Higher protein diets with DL-methionine improve mink hair growth and fur quality.
research Growth and viability of Liaoning Cashmere goat hair follicles during the annual hair follicle cycle
Liaoning Cashmere goat hair follicles show synchronized growth patterns with lowest activity in May.
research An In Vitro Model for the Morphogenesis of Hair Follicle Dermal Papillae
Scientists created a model using sheep cells to study hair root formation, which can test how different substances affect hair growth.
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 Anti-keratin Monoclonal Antibodies for Identifying Animal Hair Fibers
Scientists made antibodies to tell cashmere and wool apart, which could improve how we identify animal fibers.
research Scale Heights of Chemically Treated Wool and Hair Fibers
Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Identification of the key proteins associated with different hair types in sheep and goats
Different proteins are linked to the varying thickness of sheep and goat hair types.
research Study on modification of rabbit hair fibers with L-cysteine
L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.
research Expression of nerve growth factor in skin tissues and its effect on the proliferation of outer root sheath cells in cashmere goats
Nerve growth factor helps cashmere goat hair cells grow and is more active during the hair growth phase.
