This review discusses the role of keratin-associated proteins in the growth and characteristics of wool and hair fibres from sheep and goats, and highlights areas for future research, but it presents no new findings.

This study found that the INSR His1058 C/T SNP does not increase the risk of developing PCOS among Kashmiri women.

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 three genes in the ovine KAP13 family on chromosome 1 and found that a specific allele of KRTAP13-2 is associated with improved wool fibre diameter uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep, suggesting its potential use as a marker for enhancing wool traits.

In this study, a specific genetic variant of KRTAP6-2 in Longdong cashmere goats was associated with finer cashmere fiber diameter, suggesting its potential as a molecular marker for breeding improvements.

In this study, nucleotide sequence variation in the KRTAP13-3 gene was associated with changes in heterotypic hair fibre diameter variation in Chinese Tan sheep.

In this study, researchers identified six unique genetic variants of a sheep gene, KRTAP19-3, with specific variants linked to changes in wool fibre traits, such as increased fibre diameter variability, suggesting these genetic differences affect wool characteristics in Chinese Tan sheep.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study explored the genetic basis of fiber diameter in alpacas, identifying candidate genomic regions including four significant areas on VPA6, VPA9, VPA29, and an unassigned scaffold, using whole genome association analysis and a custom SNP microarray.

This review examines genetic variation in the ovine KRTAP1.1 gene and its potential impact on wool quality, reporting no new findings but suggesting opportunities for developing gene markers for wool and pelt traits.

In this study, onion (Allium cepa) extracts promoted hair growth in an alopecia model in mice, with the effect appearing unrelated to the presence of the polyphenol quercetin.

In this study, researchers identified two significant genetic polymorphisms in the 3'-UTR of the HSP70 gene in Moa buffalo, which may play an important role in heat adaptation, providing insights for conservation and performance improvement in tropical climates.

In this study, researchers found that the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene (KRTAP36-1) allele C is linked to variations in mean fibre curvature of fine wool in Chinese Tan lambs, suggesting its role in their distinctive curly coat.

This genetic study identified four new keratin-associated protein genes in sheep, revealing significant sequence variation and suggesting complex evolutionary dynamics, with unique variants in some sheep breeds linking them to Romanov sheep ancestry.

This study identified key proteins, FKBP10 and FBN2, that promote the growth cycle of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, with higher expression in the anagen phase, offering insights into mechanisms potentially enhancing cashmere yield and quality.

This study analyzed the genetic variations of the KAP20-1 gene in Chinese Tan sheep lambs and found that the G variant was linked to an increased mean fibre curvature in their fine wool fibres, potentially influencing breeding strategies for this wool trait.

Using a multi-omics analysis, this study identified key regulators like PLA2G12A, KRT79, and prostaglandin B2 that influence cashmere fineness, providing crucial data for understanding the molecular mechanisms behind this trait in Liaoning cashmere goats.

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.

This study found that an anti-atopic lotion containing fucoidan helped heal skin damage in hairless mice with atopic dermatitis by reducing skin thickness and modulating immune responses.

This study found that fish scale collagen peptide significantly promoted wound healing in mice, with the <1 kDa fractions enhancing collagen synthesis and reducing inflammation, suggesting potential clinical benefits.

SMP creates illusion of full hair, addressing various issues and bringing happiness to those with thinning hair.

This survey found support among BAAPS members for using procedure-specific consent forms to improve clarity and consistency in patient information for aesthetic procedures.

Human epidermal stem cells divide faster than previously thought.

This study found that scalp micropigmentation provided moderate to great improvement in scalp coverage and patient satisfaction for those with hair loss, with any adverse effects being mild and temporary.

This study found that using deep plane fixation during scalp surgeries significantly reduced closure tension and allowed for increased tissue excision compared to standard techniques without fixation.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

In this study, the researchers developed an advanced robotic system called STITCH for performing suture tasks, which completed an average of 2.93 sutures autonomously and 4.47 sutures with human intervention in physical trials.

Sfrp2 increases during hair follicle catagen phase and slows keratinocyte growth.
