Certain RNA molecules are important for the development of wool follicles in sheep.
research Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes During a Wool Follicle Growth Cycle Induced by Prolactin
Certain genes are linked to wool follicle structure and function, but not hair cycle regulation.
research Number changes and development potential of wool follicle cells in the early stages of fiber differentiation
Wool follicle cells are more complex than previously thought.

research Association analysis of polymorphisms in six keratin genes with wool traits in sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.
research A comparison of transcriptomic patterns measured in the skin of Chinese fine and coarse wool sheep breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
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 Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
research MYC Protooncogenes of Wool and Hair Growtha
MYC protooncogenes may be important for hair growth, but more research is needed.
research The Production of Unshrinkability by Cross‐linkage Formation in Wool
Mercuric acetate makes wool unshrinkable by changing its elastic properties.
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 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.
research Selection signatures of wool color in Gangba sheep revealed by genome-wide SNP discovery
Wool color in Gangba sheep is influenced by multiple genes and genetic mechanisms.
