In this study, the identification of a novel KAP gene in sheep, named KRTAP36-1, was associated with increased prickle factor in wool, suggesting its potential as a genetic marker for breeding purposes.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the rheological properties of hyaluronic acid fillers, including viscosity, cross-linking, and concentration, to optimize their use in addressing facial aging by maximizing clinical effects.

In this study, using tyrosine as a cross-linking agent for hair perming showed better initial results compared to commercial products, though efficiency decreased after washing without compromising hair strength.

This study found no conclusive evidence of biocatalytic activity of guinea pig liver transglutaminase with virgin human hair, potentially due to a fatty acid layer on the hair surface.

This study found that crosslinking buffalo gelatin with different methods can modify its properties and potential as a skin substitute, though double-crosslinking may increase immunogenicity slightly.

This study found that non-toxic polycarboxylic acids can achieve satisfactory hair perming effects with limited strength loss, suggesting they have potential as a safer alternative to harmful perming chemicals.
