The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
research Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
research Acid phosphatase distribution in the wool follicle. III. Fate of organelles in keratinized cells
Keratinized wool cells still have some organelles like lysosomes and mitochondria.
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 DKK4 as a novel candidate marker for Zhexi Angora rabbit wool quality
DKK4 can be used to improve wool quality in Zhexi Angora rabbits.
research Cost-effectively dissecting the genetic architecture of complex wool traits in rabbits by low-coverage sequencing
Low-coverage sequencing is a cost-effective way to identify genes related to wool traits in rabbits.
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 Characterization and expression analysis of KAP7.1, KAP8.2 gene in Liaoning new-breeding cashmere goat hair follicle
KAP7.1 and KAP8.2 genes are crucial for cashmere quality in goats.
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 The effects of intradermal injections of spermidine on the growth rate of fibres and mitosis of wool follicles in Merino lambs
Spermidine injections increased wool growth rate in lambs without changing fibre thickness.
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 Variation in Ovine KRTAP13-3 and Its Association with Wool Characteristics in Chinese Tan Sheep
The KRTAP13-3 gene affects wool fibre diameter variability in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Ovine KRT81 Variants and Their Influence on Selected Wool Traits of Commercial Value
KRT81 gene variations in sheep affect wool weight but not fiber length or thickness.
research A detailed mapping of the readily accessible disulphide bonds in the cortex of wool fibres
Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.
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.

Delipidised wool is brighter, dyes better, and is more eco-friendly.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
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.
