research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Identification of the KAP27-1 gene in sheep and its effect on wool traits
The KRTAP27-1 gene variations in sheep may affect wool length and weight.
research Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
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 Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Applied to The Identification And Quantification Of Animal Hair Fibers In Textile Products
Researchers developed a method to identify and measure different animal hair fibers in textiles, successfully distinguishing materials like cashmere from cheaper fibers.
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 The proteomics of wool follicles
Proteomics helps understand protein changes in wool fiber development.
research Environmentally independent histological markers of wool quality: a comparative study of Gentile di Puglia and Sarda breeds
Gentile di Puglia sheep have finer wool and more lanolin than Sarda sheep.
research Keratin Gene Expression Differences in Wool Follicles and Sequence Diversity of High Glycine-Tyrosine Keratin-Associated Proteins (Kaps) in Magra Sheep of India
Magra sheep's wool luster is linked to specific keratin gene expression and protein variations.
research Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Delipidised wool is brighter, dyes better, and is more eco-friendly.
research Editorial: Animal fibers
Animal fibers are valued for being natural and eco-friendly, but face challenges like price volatility and a focus on meat over fiber.
research Growth of wool follicles in culture
Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.
research Characterization of the exocuticle a‐layer proteins of wool
The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
research Quantitative Analysis of Cashmere and Other Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles Using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
The new method reliably identifies and measures different animal hair fibers in textiles.
research Characterisation of low abundance wool proteins through novel differential extraction techniques
New techniques helped identify rare wool proteins by reducing dominant ones.
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 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.
research Improve the physical and chemical properties of camel's hair fiber in Afif province: تحسين الخصائص الفيزيائية والكيميائية لشعيرات وبر الإبل بمحافظة عفيف
Camel hair from Afif can be improved for textiles by adding chemicals or blending with other fibers.
research Inhibition of Polyamine Synthesis Alters Hair Follicle Function and Fiber Composition
Polyamines, especially spermidine, are essential for hair growth.
research Effects of Intradermally Injected and Topically Applied Mouse Epidermal Growth Factor on Wool Growth, Skin and Wool Follicles of Merino Sheep
Mouse epidermal growth factor injections in sheep affected wool growth and skin, but saline did not.
research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research [Electrophoretic studies of acid mucopolysaccharides in skin, prekeratin of hair follicles and in keratoses of wool].
Chondroitin sulphate is more abundant than hyaluronic acid in skin and hair samples, except in gamma-keratosis.
research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research Annotation of sheep keratin intermediate filament genes and their patterns of expression
Sheep have 17 keratin genes, similar to humans, but with different expression patterns affecting wool and hair.
research Diversity of Trichocyte Keratins and Keratin Associated Proteins
Hair and wool have diverse keratins and keratin-associated proteins.
research Comparative histomorphometric and transcriptomic analysis reveals potential genetic determinants of pelage variation between hairy and coarse-woolly sheep
Genetic differences in sheep affect wool type, with fat and immune genes influencing hair traits.
research Anomalous Fluorescence of White Hair Compared to Other Unpigmented Keratin Fibres
White hair has weaker tryptophan fluorescence than other unpigmented fibers, possibly due to UV exposure or unknown substances.
research Identification and sequence analysis of the keratin-associated protein 24‐1 (KAP24-1) gene homologue in sheep
The research identified a gene in sheep important for wool quality, which could help improve wool traits.
research GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS REVEALS THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF GENETIC VARIATION OF IMPORTANT ECONOMIC TRAITS IN CASHMERE GOATS ON QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU
