research How Different Is Human Hair? A Critical Appraisal of Global Hair Fibre Characteristics and Properties Towards Defining a More Relevant Framework for Hair Type Classification
Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.
research Discovery of Genes and Proteins Possibly Regulating Mean Wool Fibre Diameter Using cDNA Microarray and Proteomic Approaches
Researchers identified genes and proteins that may influence wool thickness in sheep.
research Animal Fibre: Connecting Science and Production
Improving knowledge and practices in animal fibre production is crucial to meet market demands and potentially revive natural fibres.
research Enzymatic Crosslinking of Amino Acids Improves the Repair Effect of Keratin on Hair Fiber
Using enzymes to link proteins makes hair repair treatments more effective and long-lasting.
research Hair Follicle Characteristics and Fiber Production in South American Camelids
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.
research Biomechanics of Hair Fiber Growth: A Multi-Scale Modeling Approach
The model shows that factors like follicle shape and stiffness are key for hair growth and anchoring.
research The Keratin Fibers
research The Endocrine Control of Fibre Growth and Shedding in Cashmere Goats
Hormones and daylight changes control when cashmere goats shed their hair.
research Cell Proliferation During Fiber Growth Initiation in Ferret Hair Follicles
Ferret hair growth starts between 0 and 4 days after melatonin treatment, with cell growth peaking in the hair germ and declining as the hair matures.
research Chronological Aging of Human Hair Keratin Fibers
Hair ages as the cuticle wears down, especially beyond 1 meter from the root, affecting its strength and shine.
research Manufacturing of Amber Particles Suitable for Composite Fiber Melt Spinning
Researchers created small amber particles for use in bioactive and biocompatible fibers that could help with skin and hair restoration and are safe for infant clothing.
research Seasonal Variation in Hair Follicle Activity and Fiber Growth of Both Male and Female Merghoz Goats in Western Iran
Goat hair growth and follicle activity change with the seasons and differ between males and females.
research The Mean Staple Length of Wool Fiber Is Associated with Variation in the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-2 Gene
The KRTAP21-2 gene affects wool length and quality in sheep.
research Protein And Sulfur Amino Acid Nutrition Of Hair Fiber-Producing Angora And Cashmere Goats
Giving high-quality protein or methionine supplements helps improve hair growth in Angora goats and, to a lesser extent, in Cashmere goats.
research Chemical And Physical Treatments Damage Caucasian And Afro-Ethnic Hair Fibre: Analytical And Image Assays
Chemical and physical treatments like bleaching, dyeing, and UV radiation damage both Caucasian and Afro-ethnic hair.
research Exogen Involves Gradual Release of the Hair Club Fiber in the Vibrissa Follicle Model
Hair sheds gradually from the follicle, with readiness to shed indicated by less attachment material.
research Penetration of Different Molecular Weight Hydrolysed Keratins into Hair Fibres and Their Effects on the Physical Properties of Textured Hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research The Effects of Intradermal Injections of Spermidine on the Growth Rate of Fibers and Mitosis of Wool Follicles in Merino Lambs
Spermidine injections increased wool growth rate in lambs without changing fibre thickness.
research Red LED Light Promotes Hair Follicle Development to Improve Fiber Quality in Su Line Angora Rabbit
Red LED light improves the quality of Angora rabbit wool by promoting hair growth.
research In Vitro Methodology, Hormonal and Nutritional Effects, and Fiber Production in Isolated Ovine and Caprine Anagen Hair Follicles
Angora goat hair grows faster and produces more protein than cashmere goat hair, and certain hormones and nutrients positively affect hair growth and protein synthesis.
research A Detailed Mapping of the Readily Accessible Disulfide Bonds in the Cortex of Wool Fibers
Researchers found that the most reachable bonds in wool fibers are near the ends of certain proteins, which help stabilize the fiber's structure.
research An Overview of Chemical Straightening of Human Hair: Technical Aspects, Potential Risks to Hair Fiber and Health, and Legal Issues
Chemical hair straightening can damage hair and health, needing safer alternatives and stricter regulations.
research The Localization and Characterization of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Receptors and the Investigation of Melatonin Receptors on the Hair Follicles of Seasonal and Non-Seasonal Fiber-Producing Goats
Goat hair follicles have insulin-like growth factor-I receptors that might affect hair growth, but no melatonin receptors were found.
research The Effect of a Herbal Paste and Oil Extract on the Lipid Content of Canine Hair Fibers
Herbal paste and oil extract might improve dog hair quality by retaining lipids.
research Serum-Free Culture of Wool Follicles: Effects of Nutrients, Growth Factors, and Hormones
Wool follicles grew fibres for 8-10 days in a serum-free culture, influenced by calcium, glucose, amino acids, and insulin.
research The Structural Implications of Water Hardness Metal Uptake by Human Hair
Human hair absorbs calcium and magnesium from tap water, affecting its structure and styling properties.
research Generation of VEGF Knock-In Cashmere Goat via the CRISPR/Cas9 System
Scientists successfully edited a goat's genes to grow more and longer cashmere hair.
research Effect of Melatonin Administration to Lactating Cashmere Goats on Milk Production of Dams and Hair Follicle Development in Their Offspring
Melatonin increases cashmere quality in goats but reduces their milk production and doesn't affect their offspring's hair growth.
research The Effects of Melatonin Treatment on Wool Production and Hair Follicle Cycle in Angora Rabbits
Melatonin treatment increases wool production and improves fiber quality in angora rabbits.
