research Serum-free culture of wool follicles: effects of nutrients, growth factors and hormones
Wool follicles grew fibres for 8-10 days in a serum-free culture, influenced by calcium, glucose, amino acids, and insulin.
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.
