This study found no significant proteomic differences in hair samples across racial or geometric groups in a culturally diverse South African cohort, highlighting the limited value of racial classification in precision medicine.

This study concluded that IGF-I receptors are present on hair follicles and sebaceous glands of cashmere and Angora goats, but melatonin receptors are absent.

In this study, KRTAP28-1 variants were associated with wool fibre diameter in sheep, suggesting potential as a gene marker for reducing fibre diameter.

This study examined the environment and quality of carrots grown in Vietnam, finding that organically grown carrots had lower levels of harmful heavy metals than traditional methods, suggesting organic farming can yield safer, higher-quality carrots.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.

This study found that sows consuming beet pulp had higher feed intake and improved litter performance during heat stress, while a high-fiber diet enhanced insulin levels, suggesting dietary fiber's importance for reproductive and metabolic health in sows.

This study found that polymorphisms in KRTAP13.1, KRTAP27-1, and KRTAP24-1 were significantly associated with fiber diameter in Jiangnan cashmere goats, which may aid future breeding and conservation efforts.

Adding bentonite clays to goat diets increased milk yield, periwinkle shell improved chicken egg production, and vaccination increased muscle area and carcass yield in calves.

This study found that GhPLDα1 in upland cotton may be involved in fiber development, correlating with increased hydrogen peroxide and cellulose biosynthesis during secondary cell wall thickening.

This study reported that discarded squid ink was used to develop a high-performance, environmentally friendly hair dye that offers a stable deep black color, UV protection, and preserves hair structure, while showing excellent biosafety in lab tests.

In this study on Chinese Tan sheep, researchers discovered a variant of the KRTAP19-5 gene associated with decreased curvature of fine wool fibres, highlighting potential genetic markers for improving wool quality.

This study identified novel genetic variations in the KRTAP22-2 gene among eight sheep breeds but found no association between these genotypes and wool fibre traits, indicating possible species-specific differences compared to goats.

In this study, researchers analyzed the skin proteome of Alpine Merino sheep to identify proteins and pathways related to wool fiber diameter, finding that cyclic adenosine monophosphate and certain signaling pathways may play a role in this trait.

This review examines the chemical composition and potential health risks of hair straighteners, but it reports no new findings and emphasizes the importance of understanding hair fibre structure for safe use.

This study suggests that the CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness in Liaoning cashmere goats, providing new insights into the cellular mechanisms of cashmere growth and quality.

Homemade hair treatments can significantly lower drug levels in hair, possibly causing false-negative drug tests.

This study analyzed skin specimens from Australian Merino ewes to estimate hair follicle properties across different strains, providing baseline data essential for future genetic studies on fleece structure, but reported no new conclusions.

This study observed that nutritional stress is likely responsible for changes in Merino sheep follicle morphology in Mediterranean environments, affecting staple strength and possibly requiring targeted management strategies.

This study found that skin thickness in Bakerwali goats increased with age, with notable histological differences in these layers across diverse regions of the body.

This study observed that the pig integument is similar to human skin in both light and electron microscopy, with minimal postnatal developmental differences noted.

In this study, the researchers identified key genes with differential m6A methylation involved in cashmere fiber growth, suggesting these modifications may play a significant role in this process.

This study found that applying a topical inhibitor of TGF-β1 may enhance scar maturation and improve the appearance of hypertrophic scars in a nude mouse model after two weeks.

This study found that a conditioner containing Spirulina platensis and Ascophyllum nodosum extracts improved hair shine and reduced combability force after 28 days of use.

In this study, researchers observed that blue LED irradiation enhanced cosmetic permeation, increased diameter, and improved resistance of hair fiber in Caucasian and Asian ethnic groups, whereas African hair showed less change.

Seborrheic dermatitis affects quality of life and sleep, linked to stress and nervous system changes.

This study analyzed inner root sheath-specific genes in Tan sheep during various growth stages, finding peak expression at birth. The pattern of genes KRT71, KRT72, and TCHH is consistent with wool crimp, potentially influencing wool morphology.

This study reported that among 1337 patients receiving biocompatible artificial hair implants, common side effects included mild inflammation (7%) and itching (<3%), while patient satisfaction was high at 96%, though COVID-19 may have impacted some results.

This study reports that keratin-based materials derived from human hair have potential for use in tissue engineering, showing promising bioactivity and mechanical support in preliminary evaluations.
