This study observed that genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP22-1 gene is linked to increased wool yield and decreased fiber curvature in sheep, indicating its potential use in breeding programs.
research Wool and Hair Waste as Nutrient Source for High-value Crops
This study found that adding sheep wool-waste or human hair-waste to soil increased yields and secondary metabolites in various crops and supported up to five harvests without additional fertilizers, though it decreased mycorrhizae colonization.
research Influence of feed restriction on the wool proteome: A combined iTRAQ and fiber structural study
In this study, experimentally induced weight loss in merino sheep led to a decrease in wool fiber diameter and increased expression of certain high sulfur and glycine-tyrosine proteins, potentially impacting wool quality and industry preferences.
research Effects of TGFBR1 on Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells in Fine-Wool Sheep
In this study on fine-wool sheep, researchers found that overexpressing the TGFBR1 gene decreased proliferation of dermal papilla cells by influencing multiple signaling pathways, suggesting TGFBR1 as a negative regulator in hair follicle development.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity If we can clone a sheep why we can't cure baldness till now
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and stem cell therapies exist, but a complete cure is hindered by genetic complexity and market dynamics. Cloning hair follicles is considered a potential solution, but it's currently not feasible.
community Depressed that topical dut+min is causing unwanted hair everywhere on my face. Is there anything can I do?
The conversation is about a user experiencing excessive hair growth on their body due to using topical minoxidil and dutasteride. The suggested solutions are shaving off the excess hair or considering laser epilation. It is mentioned that dutasteride does not cause extra hair growth, while minoxidil can stimulate hair growth in unintended areas. The user is advised to lower the dosage, concentration, or frequency of use and only apply the treatment to the desired areas.
community Constant decrease and increase of density after 3 years on fin
The conversation discusses fluctuating hair density experienced over three years while using finasteride for mild male pattern baldness. The user is curious about the lack of information on this cycle of density loss and regrowth.
community Im depressed and feeling hopeless about my progress and need guidance
A 20-year-old is feeling depressed about hair loss despite using minoxidil and finasteride for 5-6 months. Users suggest continuing treatment, trying derma rolling, oral minoxidil, and addressing lifestyle factors.
community female depressed about thin hair on crown PLEASE HELP :(
The conversation reassures a woman concerned about thinning hair on her crown, suggesting her hair appears normal and not thinning. Some users recommend prenatal vitamins for hair health, while others attribute the appearance to contrast between dark hair and a pale scalp.

1 / 800 results- Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.
