research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
research Some Tensile Properties of Specialty Hair Fibers
Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.
research Seasonal changes in the morphology of wool follicles in Finewool and Strongwool Merino strains grazing at different stocking rates in southern Australia
Stocking rate affects wool follicle inactivity, not Merino strain.
research Methods of keratin extraction from wool and hair and prospects of their application in biomedicine and bioengineering
Extracted keratin from wool and hair can be used in medicine and bioengineering.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Action of Nucleophilic Reagents on Hair Keratin
Nucleophilic reagents break down hair keratin, forming more lanthionine and lysinoalanine than in wool.
research Damaged hair retrieval with ceramide-rich liposomes.
Ceramide-rich liposomes can effectively repair and strengthen damaged hair.
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 The Cytology and Cytochemistry of the Wool Follicle
Wool follicles are complex, involving interactions between different cell types and structures.
research Curly hair: measured differences and contributions to breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
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 Biology of the wool follicle: an excursion into a unique tissue interaction system waiting to be re‐discovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
research Investigation of Some Amino Acid Analogues and Metabolites as Inhibitors of Wool and Hair Growth
Certain amino acid analogues can inhibit wool and hair growth and affect fiber strength.
research A discrete transition zone between cuticle and cortex layers of a human hair fibre: changes observed in the presence of breast cancer
Breast cancer alters specific molecular structures in hair, which revert after cancer removal.
research Extraction and Formulation of hydrolyzed-wool keratin solution for hair growth
Sheep wool keratin solution safely and effectively promotes hair growth.
research Abnormal Wool Growth and Alopecia of Artificially Reared Lambs
Lambs fed a liquid diet showed abnormal wool and skin, which improved with more B-vitamins, suggesting a link to B-vitamin deficiency.
research Dissecting hair breakage in alopecia areata: the central role of dysregulated cysteine homeostasis
Disrupted cysteine metabolism may cause hair breakage in Alopecia Areata, suggesting potential treatments like N-acetylcysteine.
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 ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
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 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 A Review of Coumarin Derivatives in Pharmacotherapy of Breast Cancer
Coumarin derivatives show promise as anti-estrogenic agents for treating breast cancer, with some in clinical trials.
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 Wool loss in sheep
To prevent wool loss in sheep, provide balanced nutrition and reduce stress.
research Characterizing Wool Keratin
Wool keratin is reactive, biocompatible, biodegradable, and can model keratin from other sources.
research Mode of action of mouse epidermal growth factor on the wool follicles of Merino sheep: an ultrastructural study
Mouse epidermal growth factor temporarily stops wool growth and causes cell changes in Merino sheep.
