480-510 / 1000+ resultsresearch 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 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 Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
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 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

research Investigation of Some Amino Acid Analogues and Metabolites as Inhibitors of Wool and Hair Growth
Certain amino acid analogues can inhibit wool and hair growth and affect fiber strength.
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.
research The germinative epithelium of sheep vibrissae and wool follicles has extensive proliferative potential but is dependent on the dermal papilla
Sheep hair follicle cells can grow a lot but need the dermal papilla to do so.
research Factors which affect the fibre output of isolated wool follicles maintained in vitro
Wool growth is mainly controlled by external factors and specific proteins, not the follicles themselves.
