Researchers identified a new variant of the FGF5 gene in sheep that affects hair length.
research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
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 Prenatal Androgenization of Ewes as a Model of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Prenatally androgenized ewes can model increased hair diameter in women with PCOS.
research Epidermal growth factor, but not cortisol, suppresses fibre growth in cultured follicles
Epidermal growth factor reduces hair growth, but cortisol does not.
research Application of PCR Technique to Detect Polymorphism of the KRTAP1.1 Gene in Three Sheep Breeds - A Review
The PCR technique can identify genetic differences in a wool-related gene among different sheep breeds, which may help improve wool and pelt quality.
