570-600 / 1000+ resultsresearch Mitotic processes in hair follicles and the morphostructure of sheep skin upon inclusion of a water-soluble fatty acid complex into their diets
Adding a water-soluble fatty acid complex to sheep diets improves wool growth by increasing primary hair follicle size and density.
research Using proteomics to compare the molecular structures of sulfide and permeate-depilated sheepskins
The conclusion is that using bovine milk permeate to remove wool from sheepskins is eco-friendly and results in smoother, higher quality leather compared to traditional sulfide methods.
research Review of Women with Vision: The Presentation Sisters of South Dakota, 1880-1985
Knocking out the FGF5 gene in sheep increased wool production and hair-follicle density.
research Pathological and Biochemical Studies on Experimental Hypothyroidism in Growing Lambs
Iodine deficiency in lambs causes poor growth, less wool, and delayed sexual maturity.
research CERTAIN PHASES OF SULFUR METABOLISM OF THE SKIN
Cystine is crucial for forming keratin in hair, wool, and nails.
research Construction of transcriptome atlas of white yak hair follicle during anagen and catagen using single-cell RNA sequencing

research Cyclic hair-loss and regrowth in transgenic mice overexpressing an intermediate filament gene.
Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.
research The Expressions Rules of Wnt10b and SFRP2 Gene in Skin of Wanxi Angora Rabbit
Wnt10b promotes hair growth, while SFRP2 inhibits it in Wanxi Angora rabbits.
research The proteomics of keratin proteins
Modern techniques have improved the understanding of keratin proteins, revealing their roles in various cells and potential in disease diagnosis.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research The susceptibility of disulfide bonds to modification in keratin fibers undergoing tensile stress
Disulfide bonds in keratin fibers break more easily under stress, especially when wet, affecting fiber strength.
research Anomalous Fluorescence of White Hair Compared to Other Unpigmented Keratin Fibres
White hair has weaker tryptophan fluorescence than other unpigmented fibers, possibly due to UV exposure or unknown substances.
