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 Ancient Lineages of the Keratin-Associated Protein (KRTAP) Genes and Their Co-option in the Evolution of the Hair Follicle
Keratin-associated proteins have ancient origins and were used for different purposes before being adapted for hair in mammals.
research SEM/SDD-EDS: An Analytical Tool to Identify Waterborne Micro Minerals Pickup in Human Scalp Hair Cuticle Due to Water Quality
Water quality affects mineral content in hair, and coconut oil can protect against damage.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Changing the Shape of Hair with Keratin Peptides
Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.
research Hair Cosmetics: Dyes
Hair dyes can change hair color temporarily or permanently but may cause side effects like skin reactions and hair damage.
research Cysteine Prevents the Reduction in Keratin Synthesis Induced by Iron Deficiency in Human Keratinocytes
Cysteine helps maintain keratin production in skin cells even when iron is low.
research Dermatological Problems of Puberty
Puberty often causes skin issues like acne and excessive sweating, and treatments require patience as results may vary.
research Biology of the Wool Follicle: An Excursion into a Unique Tissue Interaction System Waiting to Be Rediscovered
The article concludes that the wool follicle is a valuable model for studying tissue interactions and has potential for genetic improvements in wool production.
research A Comparison of Transcriptomic Patterns Measured in the Skin of Chinese Fine and Coarse Wool Sheep Breeds
Fine wool sheep have more genes for wool quality, while coarse wool sheep have more for skin and muscle traits.
research Establishment of a Culture Model for the Prolonged Maintenance of Chicken Feather Follicles Structure In Vitro
Scientists have developed a method to keep chicken feather follicles alive and structurally intact in a lab for up to a week.
research Scanning Electron Microscopes/Silicon Drift Detector-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy: An Analytical Tool to Identify Waterborne Microminerals Pickup in Human Scalp Hair Cuticle Due to Water Quality
The method can identify minerals in hair from water, and using coconut oil or conditioner can prevent mineral buildup.
research Structure and Expression of Genes for a Class of Cysteine-Rich Proteins of the Cuticle Layers of Differentiating Wool and Hair Follicles
Researchers found genes for cysteine-rich proteins that form the protective layer of hair in humans and sheep.
research The Complexity of the Ovine and Caprine Keratin-Associated Protein Genes
Sheep and goat hair fibers are complex due to keratin-associated proteins, which are important for fiber properties and growth.
research Trends in Biopolymer Science Applied to Cosmetics
Biopolymers are increasingly used in cosmetics for their non-toxicity and skin benefits, with future biotech advancements likely to expand their applications.
research Responses to Dietary Supplementation With Field Bean in Production Indices, Mohair Growth and Hormonal Parameters in Transition Angora Goats
Field bean supplementation improved mohair growth and kid growth in Angora goats but didn't prevent weight loss after giving birth.
research Association Analysis of Polymorphisms in Six Keratin Genes with Wool Traits in Sheep
Certain gene mutations are linked to wool quality in sheep and could help in breeding for better wool.
research Identification of the Ovine Keratin-Associated Protein 21-1 Gene and Its Association with Variation in Wool Traits
The KRTAP21-1 gene affects wool yield and can help improve wool production.
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 Wool Keratin-Associated Protein Genes in Sheep: A Review
Understanding wool keratin-associated proteins in sheep can help improve wool quality through selective breeding.
research Identification of the Keratin-Associated Protein 22-2 Gene in Capra Hircus and Its Association with Cashmere Traits
A new goat gene affects cashmere fiber thickness; certain variations can make the fibers coarser.
research Application of PCR Technique to Detect Polymorphism of the KRTAP1.1 Gene in Three Sheep Breeds: A Review
The PCR technique can identify genetic differences in a wool-related gene among different sheep breeds, which may help improve wool and pelt quality.
research Curly Hair: Measured Differences and Contributions to Breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Physical Characterization of the Hair of Mexican Women
Mexican women's hair is between Asian and Caucasian hair in thickness and shape, with varied strength and some damage.
