30 / 1000+ results 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 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 Morphology and ultrastructure of antler velvet hair and body hair from red deer (Cervus elaphus)
Antler velvet hair and body hair of red deer have different structures that help with protection and insulation.
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 Epidermal growth factor, but not cortisol, suppresses fibre growth in cultured follicles
Epidermal growth factor reduces hair growth, but cortisol does not.
research Proteomic Analysis of Crimped and Straight Wool in Chinese Tan Sheep
Crimped wool has proteins linked to crimp formation, while straight wool has proteins linked to fiber fineness, which can improve wool quality and value.
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 Analysis of slenderizing human hair fibers surface morphology
research Investigating the internal structure of sheep wool hair fibre using new microscopic techniques
Curly wool has more orthocortex than straight wool.
research Transcriptome and proteome combined analysis of wool fiber diameter regulation mechanism
Key genes and pathways affect wool fiber thickness, improving wool quality.
research Factors which affect the fibre output of isolated wool follicles maintained in vitro
Wool growth is mainly controlled by external factors and specific proteins, not the follicles themselves.
research A discourse on human hair fibers and reflections on the conservation of drug molecules
Hair analysis for drugs needs a better understanding of how drugs enter hair, considering factors like hair structure and pigmentation.
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.

Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
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 Effects of EGF on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
EGF makes hair follicles grow longer but stops hair production.
research Quantifying the effects of repeated dyeing: morphological, mechanical, and chemical changes in human hair fibers
Repeated hair dyeing significantly damages hair.
research Hair Follicle Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes That Regulate Wool Fiber Diameter in Angora Rabbits
Genes affecting wool fiber thickness in Angora rabbits were identified, which could help breed finer wool.
