Involucrin helps strengthen the inner parts of human hair.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Transcriptome meta-analysis reveals the hair genetic rules in six animal breeds and genes associated with wool fineness
Different sheep breeds share similar genetic factors affecting wool fineness.
research Identification of Cashmere and Other Animal Hair Fibers in Textiles by MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry

research Keratin-modified waterborne polyurethane: an alternative circular economy technology for adding value to cattle hair waste from leather tanneries
research Proteomic analysis of fetal skin by iTRAQ reveals molecular signals underlying Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat hair follicle initiation
The research identified proteins that change as goat hair follicles begin to form, helping to understand how cashmere grows.
research A Keratin Fiber Sheath
Hair fibers may have a unique, non-protein sheath not previously identified.
research The structure of the “amorphous” matrix of keratins
Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.
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 Damaged hair retrieval with ceramide-rich liposomes.
Ceramide-rich liposomes can effectively repair and strengthen damaged hair.
research Spontaneous Super-Contraction of Animal Hair
Animal hair can curl tightly on its own, especially in foxes, due to changes in keratin.
research Ingredients Present In Personal Care Products That Need Scrutiny
Certain ingredients in personal care products, like formaldehyde, oxidative hair dyes, and sulfates, pose health risks and need careful review.
research Location of keratin-associated proteins in developing fiber cuticle cells using immunoelectron microscopy
Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.
research Structural Hierarchy of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.

Specific gene variants affect wool traits in Chinese Tan sheep.
research The role of disulfide bond formation in the structural transition observed in the intermediate filaments of developing hair
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research Assessing protein sequencing in human single hair shafts of decreasing lengths
Hair keratin proteins can be reliably identified in hair as short as 0.12 cm, with 0.5 to 2 cm being the best length for analysis.
research Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis of Reconstructive Hair Fibers.
All five hair fiber products improved appearance but didn't stick to completely bald areas.
research Nucleation and growth of macrofibrils in trichocyte (hard-α) keratins

research Helical twist direction in the macrofibrils of keratin fibres is left handed
Keratin fibers in hair twist left-handed.
research Caffeine docking studies with keratin: Implications for its cosmetic applications
Caffeine may be good for hair growth and skin care because it binds well with keratin.
research Role of MEG3-miRNAs in immune-inflammatory regulation in age-dependent wool follicle remodeling in Tan sheep
MEG3-miRNAs help control wool traits in young Tan sheep by regulating immune responses, but their decline with age leads to wool changes.
research Hard alpha-keratin degradation inside a tissue under high flux X-ray synchrotron micro-beam: A multi-scale time-resolved study
High flux X-ray beams quickly damage the structure of human hair.
