The gene KAP22-1 affects wool yield and fiber shape in sheep.
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 Number changes and development potential of wool follicle cells in the early stages of fiber differentiation
Wool follicle cells are more complex than previously thought.
research Growth of wool follicles in culture
Wool follicles can grow in a lab with the right nutrients and conditions.

Genetic variation in the KRTAP15-1 gene affects wool yield in sheep.
research Wool Fibres: Sectioning and Staining, Differentiation of Ortho and Paracortex
research Association analysis of polymorphisms in six keratin genes with wool traits in sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.
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 Reduction in wool follicles prior to birth in Merino sheep
Merino sheep have fewer wool follicles at birth than before birth.
research MYC Protooncogenes of Wool and Hair Growtha
MYC protooncogenes may be important for hair growth, but more research is needed.
research The Production of Unshrinkability by Cross‐linkage Formation in Wool
Mercuric acetate makes wool unshrinkable by changing its elastic properties.
research The Oxidative Degradation of Keratin (Wool and Bovine Hair)
Oxidizing agents break down keratin in wool and hair, causing swelling and increased solubility.
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 Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Molecular Anatomy of Sheep Hair Follicle Heterogeneity and Wool Curvature
The research identified genes that explain why some sheep have curly wool and others have straight wool.
research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
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 Mode of action of mouse epidermal growth factor on the wool follicles of Merino sheep: an ultrastructural study
Mouse epidermal growth factor temporarily stops wool growth and causes cell changes in Merino sheep.
research The Administration of Flumethasone, by Three Different Routes, its Measurement in the Plasma and Some Effects on Wool Growth in Merino Wethers
Flumethasone causes wool shedding in Merino wethers, with recovery in about 60 days.
research Preparation of Water Soluble Wool Keratin and Its Application for Human Hair
Water-soluble wool keratin can protect human hair from damage during treatments.
research Changes of Curvature with Regain of Set Wool and Hair Fibers
Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.
research Transient treatment of pregnant Merino ewes with modulators of cortisol biosynthesis coinciding with primary wool follicle initiation alters lifetime wool growth
Altering maternal cortisol during pregnancy can improve wool growth in Merino sheep.
research The effects of melatonin treatment on wool production and hair follicle cycle in angora rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
research Cellular Debris in the Grease of Wool Fibers
Cellular debris sticks to damaged wool fibers and affects wool cleanliness.
research Scale Heights of Chemically Treated Wool and Hair Fibers
Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.
research Preliminary comparison of skin transcriptome from sheep with different wool fibre diameters
Lipid metabolism affects wool fiber diameter in sheep.
research Keratin Gene Expression in Wool Fibre Development
Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
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 Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
Wool fiber curliness is linked to the presence of certain proteins and K38.
research Inhibitory Effects of Ethionine, an Analogue of Methionine, on Wool Growth
Ethionine significantly inhibits wool growth in sheep but not hair growth in mice or rats.
