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 Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
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 Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
A new method extracts red dyes from wool without damaging it, although it slightly weakens the wool.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Animal Hair Fibers
Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.
research Fiber-Safe Extraction of Red Mordant Dyes from Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a less damaging way to extract red dyes from wool using EDTA and DMF, preserving the fiber's strength for further analysis.
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 The Morphological Basis of vicuña wool: Skin and gland structure in Vicugna vicugna (Molina 1782)
Vicuña wool's quality is due to a high density of fine secondary hair follicles, and their skin glands may be used for communication.
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 Cortical cell types and intermediate filament arrangements correlate with fiber curvature in Japanese human hair
Hair curvature in Japanese people is linked to specific cell types and filament arrangements in the hair cortex.
research Association of methionine synthase gene polymorphisms with wool production and quality traits in Chinese Merino population12
The MTR gene affects wool quality and production in Chinese Merino sheep.
research Assessment of Poplar Seed Hair Fibers as a Potential Bulk Textile Thermal Insulation Material
Poplar seed hair fibers could be an eco-friendly insulation for textiles.
research Laccase-catalyzed poly(tyrosine) grafting improves the performance of wool
Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.
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 ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL

Chondroitin sulphate is more abundant than hyaluronic acid in skin and hair samples, except in gamma-keratosis.
research Sheep IGFBP2 and IGFBP4 promoter methylation regulates gene expression and hair follicle development
Lower IGFBP4 promoter methylation is linked to finer wool in sheep.
research Structural analysis of human hair single fibres by scanning microbeam SAXS
Hair curliness is due to uneven distribution of different cortices within the hair fiber.
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.
