Researchers developed a new method to identify animal hair in textiles, which is effective for various fibers and more reliable than previous methods.

Animal hair fibers like wool and mohair are strong when dry, but vicuna fibers are very brittle.

The industry should promote pure luxury hair fibers, improve technology, and diversify products to support growers and ensure sustainable use.

Enzymes xylanase and pectinase clean wool and specialty hair fibers effectively without damage, offering an eco-friendly alternative to soap and hot water.

Scientists made antibodies to tell cashmere and wool apart, which could improve how we identify animal fibers.

Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.

Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.

Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.

Camel hair from Afif can be improved for textiles by adding chemicals or blending with other fibers.

Researchers developed a method to identify animal fibers in textiles, which works on processed and blended materials.

Improving skills and technology in Baluchistan's wool industry could boost quality, jobs, and Pakistan's economy.

South American camelids should be sheared early, fleece type affects fiber quality, and the S/P follicle ratio doesn't distinguish between Bolivian llama genotypes.

Llamas often have skin issues like mange, bacterial infections, and allergies, with some treatable by zinc.

Organic and biogenic nanocarriers can improve drug delivery but face challenges like consistency and safety.

Horse skin has a layered epidermis, a dermis with hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and is supplied by small arteries.

Diet affects baldness; eat balanced, less animal fat, more fruits, vegetables, and cereals.

Ancient herders in the Keriya Valley fed their animals mainly C3 plants, with some C4 plant feeding possibly due to herd movement or seasonal changes.

Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.

Melatonin stimulates the skin components of ram's scrotum during their non-breeding season.

In 1981, the punch graft technique was the main method for hair transplantation, and medical treatments for baldness were not very effective.

Hair in mammals likely evolved from glandular structures, not scales.

Ancient Chinese goats evolved cashmere-producing traits due to selective breeding, particularly in genes affecting hair growth.

Hexi cashmere goats' hair growth varies by stage, with Hoxc13 linked to hair activity.

Bee pollen, green tea, essential oils, and various plant extracts improve skin and hair health.

Selenium can be toxic to animals, causing serious health issues, especially in horses.

Vicuña wool's quality is due to a high density of fine secondary hair follicles, and their skin glands may be used for communication.

The TRPV3 gene variant may cause the long-haired suri alpaca coat.

Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.

Tamarix aphylla may be effective for various medical conditions, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.

Mesenchymal stem cells could help treat aging-related diseases better than current methods.
