The hair follicle structure is more complex than thought, with new findings on protein formation.

This study found that sheep wool follicles actively oxidize acetate and glucose, suggesting the involvement of the TCA cycle for compound synthesis and the potential role of the pentose phosphate pathway in ribose production for RNA and DNA.

This study investigated multiple alkaline oxidative dehairing systems and found a consistent reaction mechanism for disulfide cleavage across systems, enhancing hair solubilization by enabling structural swelling and water uptake.

This study found that laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) onto wool materials improved shrinkage resistance and mechanical properties while causing minor decreases in crystallinity and thermal resistance, suggesting a potential "green" approach to enhance wool durability.

In this study, carboxymethylalanyl disulfide keratin was shown to effectively prevent hair damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.
