research Selection signatures for fiber production in commercial species: A review
Genomic research can help improve the quality and production of natural fibers in animals.
research Disulfide Cross-Linked Network Structure of Intermediate Filament and Matrix in Hair and Wool Cortices
Hair and wool strength is affected by the number and type of bonds in their protein structures, with hair having more protein aggregates than wool.
research Skin aging as a mechanical phenomenon: The main weak links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
Crossbreeding improves goat fiber quality, and specific genes affect hair traits and color.
research Advances in the Chemical Structure of the Hair Surface, Surface Forces and Interactions
Understanding hair surface properties is key for effective hair care products.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Analysis of Morphological Changes on the Hair Surface by Heat Perm Treatment Method
Direct heat perms cause more damage to hair than softening heat perms.
research Exploring the effects of wetting and free fatty acid deposition on an atomistic hair fiber surface model incorporating Keratin Associated Protein 5-1
Water and fatty acids affect hair's surface differently based on hair damage, and models can help understand hair-cosmetic interactions.
research Identification of the key proteins associated with different hair types in sheep and goats
Different proteins are linked to the varying thickness of sheep and goat hair types.
research Sequence Variation in Caprine KRTAP6-2 Affects Cashmere Fiber Diameter
Different versions of the KRTAP6-2 gene in goats can lead to thinner cashmere fibers.
research Functional wound dressings
Modern wound dressings like hydrocolloids, alginates, and hydrogels improve healing and are cost-effective.
research Internal structure changes in bleached black human hair resulting from chemical treatments: A Raman spectroscopic investigation
Chemical treatments on bleached black hair change its internal structure by breaking and reforming bonds, and treatments with hydrolyzed eggwhite protein help repair it.
research Reproduction Mechanism of SS Cross-Links in Permed Hair by the Washing after Reduction with Thioglycolic Acid
Washing permed hair after using thioglycolic acid helps reform strong bonds, making hair stronger.
research ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDIES OF HAIR AND WOOL
Hair and wool have complex microscopic structures with microfibrils and varying cystine content.
research Melatonin promotes secondary hair follicle development of early postnatal cashmere goat and improves cashmere quantity and quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and suppressing apoptosis
Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair growth and quality by increasing antioxidants and reducing cell death.
research Exogenous and endogenous lipids of human hair
Removing external lipids from hair reduces moisture and increases strength, while removing internal lipids decreases water permeability.
research Effects of photoperiod on nutrient digestibility, hair follicle activity and cashmere quality in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats
Short daily photoperiods improve cashmere production in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats.
research Cosmetic Approach for Healthy and Damaged Hair
Cosmetic procedures can harm hair, but damage can be minimized with knowledge and care; however, once hair is damaged, it cannot be reliably repaired.
research Metal-Chelation-Assisted Deposition of Polydopamine on Human Hair: A Ready-to-Use Eumelanin-Based Hair Dyeing Methodology
Polydopamine is a safe, effective, and permanent hair dye that turns gray hair black in one hour.
research Structure and Mechanical Properties of Human Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filament Protein
Disulfide bonds make keratin in hair stronger and tougher.
research Laccase-catalyzed poly(tyrosine) grafting improves the performance of wool
Using laccase to add poly(tyrosine) to wool makes it less likely to shrink and stronger.
research From Plants to Wound Dressing and Transdermal Delivery of Bioactive Compounds
Plant-based compounds can improve wound dressings and skin medication delivery.
research Degradation of Human Hair by Papain
Papain and bisulfite break down human hair by dissolving parts of it.
research Selection signatures in goats reveal a novel deletion mutant underlying cashmere yield and diameter
A specific genetic deletion in goats affects cashmere yield and thickness.
research Integrated Analysis of miRNAs and mRNA Profiling Reveals the Potential Role of miRNAs in Sheep Hair Follicle Development
Certain miRNAs may play a role in sheep hair follicle development, which could help improve wool production.
