research Trichostasis Spinulosa: A Clinical Simulant of Acne Open Comedones
Trichostasis spinulosa can look like acne but usually affects adults, not children.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
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 The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
