research PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ANATOLIAN NATIVE GOAT DOWN-HAIR FIBERS IN COMPARISON WITH CASHMERE FIBER
Anatolian native goat down-hair is similar to cashmere and can be used for high-quality textiles.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.
research Effect of immunization against melatonin on seasonal fleece growth in feral goats
Immunizing goats against melatonin can temporarily change their cashmere growth cycles and increase fleece production.
research Effects of melatonin administration to cashmere goats on cashmere production and hair follicle characteristics in two consecutive cashmere growth cycles
Melatonin improved cashmere production in goats during the first cycle but had no lasting effects on the next cycle.
research Studies of light scattering from ethnic hair fibers
Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.
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 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 Identification of the Keratin-Associated Protein 22-2 Gene in the Capra hircus and Association of Its Variation with Cashmere Traits
A new goat gene affects cashmere fiber thickness; certain variations can make the fibers coarser.
research RNA-Seq Reveals the Roles of Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Cashmere Fiber Production Performance of Cashmere Goats in China
lncRNAs influence cashmere fiber traits like diameter and color in goats.
research Monitoring of Wool Stretching Process Using Polarized Second Harmonic Generation
Stretching wool changes its structure and improves fiber alignment.
research Animal fibre: connecting science and production
Improving knowledge and practices in animal fibre production is crucial to meet market demands and potentially revive natural fibres.
research Variation and Heritability in Hair Diameter and Curvature in an Australian Twin Sample
Hair diameter and curvature are mostly determined by genetics.
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 Effect of the Polymorphisms of Keratin Associated Protein 8.2 Gene on Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
KAP8.2 gene variations affect cashmere quality in goats.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Enzyme Treatment of Wool and Specialty Hair Fibers
Enzymes xylanase and pectinase clean wool and specialty hair fibers effectively without damage, offering an eco-friendly alternative to soap and hot water.
research Association of the KAP 8.1 Gene Polymorphisms with Fibre Traits in Inner Mongolian Cashmere Goats
KAP8.1 gene variations affect cashmere weight in Inner Mongolian goats.
research Characterization of the Promoter Regions of Two Sheep Keratin-Associated Protein Genes for Hair Cortex-Specific Expression
The KRTAP11-1 gene promoter is crucial for specific expression in sheep wool cortex.
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 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 Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep—A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
research Hair Follicles as Micro-Organs: MicroRNA-Mediated Control of Growth, Cycling, and Fiber Traits
MicroRNAs play a key role in controlling hair growth and quality in sheep and goats.
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 Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Characterisation of the Ovine KRTAP36-1 Gene in Chinese Tan Lambs and Its Impact on Selected Wool Traits
The KRTAP36-1 gene affects wool quality in Chinese Tan lambs.
research Effects of KRTAP20-1 Gene Variation on Wool Traits in Chinese Tan Sheep
Variant G of the KRTAP20-1 gene improves wool curliness in Chinese Tan sheep.
research Protein and sulphur amino acid nutrition of hair fibre-producing Angora and Cashmere goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research Fundamental hair follicle biology and fine fibre production in animals
Hair follicle growth and fiber production in animals are influenced by chemical signals, proteins, pigmentation, genetics, and nutrients.
