Research
600-630 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 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 Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
research The Production of Unshrinkability by Cross‐linkage Formation in Wool
Mercuric acetate makes wool unshrinkable by changing its elastic properties.
research Localization of Zinc in a Dense Fiber-Connecting Piece Fraction of Rat Sperm Tails Analogous Chemically to Hair Keratin
Most zinc in rat sperm is in the tail, linked to structures similar to hair keratin.
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 The proteomics of wool follicles
Proteomics helps understand protein changes in wool fiber development.

The outer layer of Merino wool is rich in sulfur proteins, making it resistant to damage.
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 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 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 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 Inhibition of Polyamine Synthesis Alters Hair Follicle Function and Fiber Composition
Polyamines, especially spermidine, are essential for hair growth.
