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

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

Hair stiffness is higher when it has more para-like cortical cells.

Using an enzyme and keratin treatment can significantly repair and strengthen damaged hair.

Human hair keratin fibers have a detailed nano-scale structure that changes with different conditions.

L-cysteine slows down the breaking of bonds in hair due to electrostatic interactions.

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.

Researchers extracted tiny keratin filaments from human hair by unzipping its outer layer.

L-cysteine and ultrasound successfully improved rabbit hair fibers for industrial use.

Reducing copper (II) ion levels in hair can decrease hair damage.

Human hair varies widely and should be classified by curl type rather than race.

The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.

Human hair is complex and grows in cycles starting from embryonic life.

Keratin proteins are crucial for hair growth and structure.

Keratin-associated proteins are part of the developing hair fiber cuticle.

Bleaching hair changes its structure and weakens it, which is important for understanding hair damage and creating treatments.

Future hair cosmetics will be safer and more effective.

High glycine–tyrosine keratin-associated proteins help make hair strong and maintain its shape.

Different fields of expertise must work together to better understand hair growth and create effective hair loss treatments.

Genomic research can help improve the quality and production of natural fibers in animals.

Anatolian native goat down-hair is similar to cashmere and can be used for high-quality textiles.

Poor maternal nutrition can lead to fewer wool follicles in Chinese Merino sheep.

A special gene region controls the re-emergence of a primitive wool type in Merino sheep, improving their wool yield and adaptability.

Disabling the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to longer wool.

The KRTAP36-2 gene in sheep affects wool yield.

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

The SOSTDC1 gene is crucial for determining sheep wool type.

The KRT84 gene is linked to better wool quality in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep.

Sheep have a unique gene, KAP8-2, that humans don't have, which may affect wool properties.
